Hard immovable lump on jaw angle

Hello! I'm 25 and noticed a hard lump on my neck just at the angle of my jaw. It is easier to feel when I turn my head towards the right (it's on the left). It doesn't move when I push it.
It's been there for about 6 months now and grown slightly bigger, it doesn't hurt at all. Because it doesn't hurt and was small I kind of forgot about it. 
now it's grown and is more prominent I'm quite worried. 
Has anyone had anything similar and is this something I should be getting checked out asap?

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    We would always advise anyone who has a new and persisting symptom to get it checked out.  We can't diagnose you but it would be best to find out what is causing the lump particularly as it has got a bit bigger.

    Many people contact us about lumps and most won't be anything serious, but our advice is always to get your GP to examine you and give you their opinion on what might be the cause.

    I hope this helps.

    All the Best,

    Catherine
