A nodule will form on or in a person's body; it is a small clump of tissue. It is usually caused from an injury to the body.
A nodule is easily felt and is typically hard. Most of the time a nodule will be benign and require no medical intervention, but sometimes it could impede with the functions of a person's body. The nodule could even be malignant. If a person notices a nodule they should go and visit their doctor. Their doctor will be able to determine whether the nodule has to be addressed or not.
Muscles and tendons will both be prone to develop a nodule in reaction to an injury. A nodule will often appear in a person's vocal chords. A nodule can also make an appearance within the layers of a person's skin or on the surface of their skin. They will then be quite noticeable because the nodule will be visible. Different parts of the body could also develop a nodule such as glands and organs. This could include a thyroid nodule, a pulmonary nodule, a breast nodule or even a lung nodule.
A nodule will often be paler than the tissue surrounding it. When it is palpated it may feel hard or rubbery, and it has a spherical shape. Nodules will often form in a cluster-like shape and look like grapes. Their sizes can vary but they will usually stay quite small. The area of a nodule might be inflamed and red or it could appear normal.
A doctor might recommend that the nodule be removed if he or she suspects that it could be a problem. Sometimes people will have a nodule removed for an aesthetic reason. If a person does develop a nodule they do not have to be too concerned at first. A doctor will wait and see if the growth gets larger or if it changes. If the nodule becomes painful or sore a person should consult their doctor.
