Hard fixed lump in neck

I have a hard fixed lump in one side of my neck just below my ear and jaw. It's not painful and feels like bone. I've done the thing you shouldn't do and googled it, but I can't find anything benign suggestions. I'll deal with anything that comes up, but in the meantime it would be helpful something to hold on to. Has anyone had this and it's been fine? Or does it fit anyone else's experience?

thanks

  • Hello sparky2025 and thank you for posting,

    I can understand that you would like to have some answers, so the best thing to do is to go and see your doctor about these symptoms if you haven't already. We have some guidance on our website around talking to your doctor, which you can refer to at anytime. When you’re worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers online, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better, so it's sometimes best to stay away.

    I hope this is helpful,
