What Causes Lump Under The Skin Of Neck And Under Jaw?

Hi, I'm 16 and a girl, and I have this strange lump under my skin, on my upper neck, right under my jaw. It's on the right side, and when I tilt my head it pokes out, but I can feel it without bending my neck. It's pretty sore..
I looked up and it might be a lymp node or something, but what I'm worried about is a cyst, since I had to have one removed about a year ago from one of my ovaries. Is this another one..?
