Hi,
Looking at the clinical history, i would think of a swollen lymphnode.
The lymphnode has enlarged due to infection. As the skin was stretched, a notice in color was probably noticed.
It will disappear in another month, now that your throat infection has bee treated.
Hyperthyroidism is not related to this lesion.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
