Hi
Thanks for your query.
The size of the lump is too small and mobile and hence likely to be normal only. You don't have any other symptoms so chance of anything serious is low.
I don't feel there is any possibility of Hodgkins disease but a formal physical examination by a doctor may reassure you even more.

Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer further followup queries, if any.

So do you think it is a lymph node ? If it stays the same size over next few weeks would you suggest going to see my doctor

Yes, it looks like a lymph node. If it stays the same then it can be observed only.
