> I'm a slim woman of 30. Should I be concerned? Other than loose skin due to aging (and since most people think I look MUCH younger than my age I'm wondering how this could be possible) why would my neck bulge where it meets my chin when I swallow? I feel dumb going to the doctor for this, and I also don't have insurance...
Could it be that it has always been like this, and you are just noticing it for the first time?
Absent a low-grade fever, I wouldn't make a special trip to the doctor. Mention it if you have to go for any other reason, though, just for peace of mind.
