Brief Answer:
thyroid gland

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query.

As per the attached image sent by you, it's the thyroid gland which you are mentioning. Adam's apple is the cricoid cartilage ring. Below that is the thyroid gland.

It's a normal structure of the neck. But the skin shows a lot of erythematous rashes which might be because of shaving.

In my opinion. It's nothing to worry.

Hope my answers have helped you. Feel free to ask further.
Thanks.
