Hello and thanks for your post

Neck lumps can be due to various reasons, such as a local skin infection, or a blocked or inflamed lymph gland (lymph node). Sometimes lymph nodes come up in response to a recent bacterial or viral infection elsewhere in the body. It can take several months or years for lymph nodes to go down and sometimes they might never go back to their original size.

But only a doctor can make a medical assessment so the best thing to do is to make an appointment to see your GP to get checked out just to be on the safe side.

Because of the current pandemic, it’s more likely you will be offered a telephone appointment initially with your doctor. After the consultation, if they feel they need to see you, they can offer you a face-to-face appointment.

I hope you know more about your situation soon.

Kind regards,

Celene
