Hi. I have a lump on the side of my neck. It's been there for a while now although in the beginning it was a lot smaller. At first it looked like a bug bite but after several months a small "ball" formed inside about the size of a plastic bb/pellet. I can press on it and it wouldn't hurt. It was like that for several months also. A couple of days ago, it got bigger, now the size of about a marble and it pains a bit when I press on it.
I went to see a doctor about it and didn't really understand what it is (language barrier) but he did say it was nothing to worry about. It can go away by itself or I can go do a small surgery to get it removed.
I was wondering if you can tell me what it is so I can learn more about it, like how I got it, why I got it, etc.
Thank you
