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

  • Please see your GP. More often than not it’ll be a swollen lymph node because you are fighting an infection or run down. However, it can be  sign of something more serious. It was in my case, but it was dealt with & Im in remission. However, worrying about what it might or might not be is a waste of energy. Let someone qualified actually evaluate you & hopefully reassure you or if not direct you to the exceptional oncology services we have aa part of the NHS. Be brave & check it out but don't google. If you need to know more then they will tell you without scaring you to death as Dr Google does! Good luck x
