I've got this hard lump below my collarbone and above my breast that feels like bone and it's been there for over two years. It doesn't hurt or anything, so I never worried much about it. But recently I got this rash, and the dermatologist said it's pityriasis rosea. Theres also a swollen lymph node on my neck and I just noticed another hard, immovable, and painless lump below the first one. Should I be worried about these lumps?
