Where on the collarbone? Towards the shoulder or towards the neck? Or in the middle?

Just wanted to say I have the same thing going on myself. A few wk's ago I noticed a bump about the size of a quarter on my collarbone. I watched it for about a wk then went to the Dr, he gave me 2 kinds of antibotices to take at the same time. He said if it didn't go away I should come back in a wk. Well it didn't go away. So the Dr ordered a Cat Scan; which showed Degenerative Bone Diease which goes hand in hand with bone spurs, that's what the bump is on my collarbone.

Could be anything -- how long have you had it? Is it growing? Does it hurt? It could be a bruise, it could be a tumor, it could be calcification. Have you ever had an injury there?

- I just noticed it today. It doesn't hurt, and it's definitely not a bruise or an injury.

- Is it bone, or soft tissue around the bone??? Try to squeeze it ***VERY***GENTLY*** -- you should be able to tell if it's on the bone, or if it wiggles around over the bone...
  
  My guess is it's floating over the bone and actually has nothing to do with the collar bone.... bones don't grow bumps like that over night... it's probably either a cyst, or a lymph node that's become infected.
  
  Neither of these things should be squeezed, as they will heal naturally on their own, and they probably won't come out, but will be cleaned up by the blood. Squeezing could cause a life long scar, as it will kill tissue under the skin.
  
  Watch it for a few days -- avoid all beverages except water -- and drink plenty of water... that will help "clear" the thing out. If it starts to bother you, or if gets bigger -- you could have a doctor surgically remove it -- but I prefer to let the body heal itself if possible -- you'd need to keep a healthy diet until it's gone.

- I spoke to a doctor today who said that there is no chance that it could be harmful. Thanks for the help
