Lump in neck

I've had a lump in my neck for a while now, around a year or so and it hasn't really bothered me until now.

It's not round and pronounce, it feels more oval-shaped and flat-ish and sort of moves a bit when you push it. It's a bit tender to touch now and I've no idea what it is. Thinking of going to the see the doctor about it but it might be just a fleshy lump.

Any ideas?

It could be a fatty lump , Or a cyst hun, Sorry im not much help , Hope you get it sorted xxdk

I should have added that it's not outside of the skin. It's inside and it's weird. Could be a cyst, DK.

I wouldn't dream of trying to diagnose this, honey. Please make an appointment and get it checked out... x0x

It could be a cyst, or your thyroid perhaps, but it would be wise to get it checked out asap.

Thanks anyway, both. I will get it checked as it's starting to concern me a bit now.

same here ...let us know how you get on

Is it on the back of your neck or is it where the glands are on the side. If the former it's probably a cyst which is getting a bit infected if it's now tender so you could get antibiotics and if it doesn't resolve completely get it removed. Unlikely to be anything sinister if you've had it for a year with no other symptoms.

It's on the side of my neck about 2 inches below my ear, and about 1cm in size.

Only just caught this hun, I would go and have it checked out. If its a cyst they can probably sort it out for you so it doesnt bother you anymore...please keep me posted xxxx
