What Causes Movable Pea Sized Lumps In Neck?

i have 2 pea sized moveable lumps in the left side of my neck. They dont hurt or cause any bother. I seem to have had them for quite a while, years in fact. I'm a healthy person and exercise 6 days a week. I have mentioned these to a doctor some time ago but he said not to worry. Think he said something like i'm a hairy person and could be blocked folicals or fatty grizle or something, what do you think as every website seems to be all doom and gloom?

Hello

Swelling in neck area may be due to enlarged lymph node.It need clinical examination and investigations.
Neck area is a common site of lymph node enlargement.It may be due to neck,scalp or throat infection.Other causes of swelling may be lipoma,blocked hair follicle etc.
You may need ultrasound of neck region.Ultrasound is very helpful in assessing its origin and management.
Generally it resolves with treatment of underlying cause.Generally it is not a serious problem.

Get well soon.
Take Care
