Hard lump along jawline.. swollen lymph node??

Hi all

 

I have had a small hard lump just above my jawline on the right side of my face. Its been there a few years now and when I had a tooth removed on that side it wasn't mentioned after xray so I didn't bring it up. It would feel firmer and a little harder on occasion but has never given me any real pain. I suppose I'm just wondering should I be seeing about it and could it be anything sinister? I have never before as I suffer from health anxiety and am scared to receive bad news. 

 

Any advice would be appreciated.
