Lump and Rash

Hello, I have had a persistent lump on my neck which is around the size of a pea for over 4 weeks now. It is firm and moveable. My doctor is concerned it may be a lymphoma so I'm waiting on an ultrasound scan. When it developed it has a scaly white rash. It is not itchy or red. Just uneven, however as time is progressing it seems to be spreading. Should I be worried this is even more of an indication that it may be cancer? It is only around my lump no where else. Would really appreciate anyone's experience of this or advice. 
 

thank you very much.

    Although no-one here can say what the rash means it's worth keeping an eye on it and mentioning it to your doctor if it continues to spread or worry you.

    Waiting for tests is always tough but fingers crossed you won't be waiting too much longer for your ultrasound and that the results bring good news when the time comes.

    Kind regards,
