I have a lump on the left side of my neck. It only hurts when I touch it. It is also slightly visible, but when I turn my neck to the right, it is very viusible. When I touch it, you can really feel the bump. I am seeing my doctor on monday [friday today]. I ve seen on the internet that this could be serious which is why I am slightly worried about this. I ve had it for 2 days but it hasn t disappeared. [I ve had this before and it goes away naturally] It is above my collar bone or shoulder, where they both meet, and behind the ear. So under the ear next to the shoulder. It is small, and hasn t changed shape or size. I really want to see the doctor but waiting a few days to see if it does go. I know I am very esrly to judge as people wait a month or three. Please help as I am very concerned.
