Pea size lump on toddlers neck

I was just wondering if anyone's babies/toddlers have had a lump before 

It's a pea sized lump that moves under the skin on the left side of hes neck just slightly to the back when he turns he's head to the side it sticks out and then disappears when he's head is straight I'm really worried it could be cancer of some sort ?

    Hi, 

    i totally understand your worries my daughter is 14 and has had hard pea sized nodes in her neck and groin since she was a toddler. She’s had several tests and they’re always ok she’s very thin so they’re more prominent and they said because she has eczema it could be from itching and breaking the skin.

    It’s always best to get checked but not to panic yourself xx
