What Causes Lump On Neck?

Hi, I am a 23 year old female, fit, active, eat healthy, when i was little i did have a lump on my brain, but no further problems. Recently i have noticed a small hard lump about the size of a pea on my neck, its up towards my earlobe and jaw. It has been there for a few weeks now. I also have a few small ones on the back of my neck that have been there for about a year and tend to come and go... the one on my neck hurts a bit sometimes... any ideas?

HHi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM Virtual Clinic.
I studied your query in all the details given by you.
The lump you have seems to be chronic Lymph adenitis.Cause of it could be scalp infection,or infestation with lice.Other causes of lymph node enlargement as TB Adenitis need to be ruled out by consultation with your doctor.The one which hurts you needs attention,hence I would advise you to consult Er Surgeon.
Hope this would help you to act fast and plan treatment with your doctor.
