Swollen lymph. Left side

Hi I just felt a lump in my neck left side. I have no cold or flu or any symptoms. Apart from very tiny red dots itchy on my face and upper neck, that I thought were weird. 
I dont feel pain when not touching the lump but when I touch it feel a bit sore. What could it be? 

  • Hi there

    Unfortunately this service cannot diagnose or tell people what a symptom is being caused by.

    There can be many reasons for lumps and bumps to appear and most will be harmless and settle after a little while. If a lump doesn't go away or starts to change it is best to get it checked out by a doctor so they can properly assess it.

    As I say see how it goes but if you remain worried or you notice anything else arrange an appointment with your GP.

    Best wishes
