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

    Of course go and get this checked out by a GP. I just wanted to reassure you that I have a lump under my jaw right in front of my ear. My gp referred me to ENT at hospital who confirmed it is indeed a bone, my lymph node is actually under it. It’s been about 4 years and it’s never changed. I terrified myself thinking I was going to get my face cut open and not be able to move my face etc. still important to get checked out of course, but hopefully just be a bone too x

    Thank you for your replies. I've seen a doctor and am awaiting an ultrasound. I was just looking for something hopeful to help the nerves in the meantime.

    Thanks again
