Should I Be Worried About The Lump That Appeared On The Left Side Of My Neck?

I recently had a small half an inch sized lump appear on the left side of neck about 2-3 inches below my jawline. It appeared about 3 days ago and I personally feel that maybe the size may have been reduced slightly but I don't know. I can pinch my fingers around the bump and lift it up with my skin. I want to believe it is a pimple but I don't know since I tried to pop it but it did not pop. Again, it has only been 3 days but I am slightly worried. It was spontaneous in occurring.
