I have this painful lump on my chin.

it feels like a spots forming, but like, its a lump and its about the size of a pea and it hurts! not just when i touch it though, throbs n aches constantly.

its been there since yesterday n today when i woke up it felt worse!!

shall i see a doc or should i just leave it a few days an see?

Go to the doctor, its not likely to be anything huge. Im not an uber great health person so I havent heard of it before, but that doesnt say much :P

It's probably a spot or boil type of thing, but if it feels wrong then go

I'd rather be safe than sorry. If you don't want to go to the doctor's (which I highly suggest you do), go to a chemist and have it checked out by them.

I'd go to the doctors, it may be a small abscess which may have to be drained or treated with antibiotics. Don't try and burst it as the pain will be bad.

heyy
i had one of them (on my chin as well!) and scared myself sick- thinking i had cancer in my chin!- and then i went to the doctor. he said it was just a cyst that became inflamed and it would go away by itself. which it did after a couple of days. thats probably what youve got, but if you are really worried, you might as well go to the docs
