Does A Small, Pea Sized, Hard Lump On The Neck Require Medical Attention?

I just discovered a small, pea sized, hard lump on the upper part of my neck about 2 inches from my ear It is only on the right side. Should I be concerned? I do not have any current health problems and live a very active lifestyle. I also have seasonal allergies but take otc meds to control them.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The possible reason for pea size lump in neck suggests lymph node enlargement likely. Though not serious, I recommend to get once checked with your family doctor for further management guidelines.
