Iey I have the same thing and from looking at other sites is said it's a lymphnode. They said if it gets larger go to a doctor cause it could be an infection or a type of cancer. (lympnoma)

Hope i helped

i had one of these and its still there it maybe a cyst or probably just one of your glads-thats what mine was. I was paronoid that i might have cancer but if its able to move and not rock hard then it shoudn't be anything to worry about.If it is one of glads i don't think it will ever go away it'll just probably change size depending on if your ill or not.If you are worried go to0 your doctor if you need to but as long as it can move i shouldnt think its anything serious.

Ponungalungb agony auntIt's probably just a fatty cyst, but better to be safe than sorry. See a doctor.

AngelofLove agony auntOnly the doctor can tell you if it is serious or not.

DearCupid agony auntAnyone with health concerns should visit their doctor.... people on this site cannot tell you weather it's cancer that's going to kill you or an insect bite that's going to go away.

But a doctor can.

cd206 agony auntMy brother had a neck lump that turned out to be nothing but telling you not to worry would be pointless. You need to see a doctor for your own peace of mind.

Farris agony auntIt's hard to make any kind of diagnosis from here, but if it REALLY worries you, then you should have already booked an appointment! Your Doctor is probably the only one that can give you completely assurance that it's no big deal, and if it is something, then you're in the right place to get it treated!

Better safe than sorry, right? Good luck!
