Is A Bump On The Jaw Line A Cause Of Concern?

Hi, I have bump on my skin just on my jaw line. It s remained the same size for a long time. There is no pain or redness. No rash. I can pinch it and feel no pain. It is attached to the skin and not the jawbone as I can roll it between my fingers. Could this be an ingrown hair? Is it something I should worry about?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
It seems that there might be having chronic enlarged mandibular lymph node giving this lump.
If size is same and no pain, nothing to worry.
It shows there might be having some minor chronic infection in nearby area like mouth, teeth, throat.
Ok and take care.
