What Causes A Movable Lymph Node On The Neck?

I have a movable bean sized lymph node( I'm guessing lymph node) on my upper left side of the neck near the crease below my jaw line. It is not painful, red, only noticeable when I touch it. This ha been there since december of 2010. I do not have any other symptoms no cough, fever, or congestion. I have this since I also have a bigger movable lymph node or cyst in armpit I had this checked by two places one said lymph not one said cyst I had an ultrasound for my breasts and underarm they said it was nothing it is still there and that was last year. Im getting really frustrated of noone taking me seriously I'm so nervous about that it may be lymphoma I always get things checked right away and because of that they think I'm not being serious and this on neck has been awhile now and I'm scared if I seek medical attention they will be like it is nothing since I'm 24 and it is not fixed but cancer is usually not painful and I'm not feeling in pain what do you think it might be?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Dear Good Evening and thanks for the query to HCM.
Cause of the red lump on the neck-
I studied your query and understood your health concerns.
In my opinion the red lump is mostly due to the non-specific lymphadenitis in JD area.
Its asymptomatic and hence you seem to be worried more.
From the facts of the query, I assure you that it is not cancerous or of lymphoma.Else they would have done further investigations and told you the severity of it to you.
I would advise you to consult ER Surgeon who would help you out by FNAC Biopsy if need be.
Hope this would help in planning treatment with yuou Doctor.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Plz write a Good Review-without fail,as it would help other patients coming to HCM.
With Regards.
