My Dr. felt the lump and ordered an ultra sound the next day. The untra sound came back clean, but the lump is back again. Should I follow up or not.

What did they tell you about the ultrasound? Did they say it was a cyst, or what? I'd follow up and ask what the results of the first ultrasound were; "clean" isn't very descriptive. And if they say, "Oh, it's a cyst," then probably you don't need to worry. But if they say they don't know what it is, I'd ask for further testing. Good luck - PJH
