Have Bump Next To Ear, Painful. What Could The Lump Be?

I have a bump next to my ear a little higher than my jaw bone, it is painful to touch the area and came out of nowhere yesterday. I am not sick. I suspicion I have TMJ , but it does not cause problems. What could the lump be? I am 31 and healthy with no health issues, however I do get anxietous when I feel something might be wrong with my body, so I am worrying about this.
