What Could Cause Small Bump On Right Side Of Neck?
I am a 21 year old with pretty much zero major health concerns in my past. I am also very anxious about my health, which can be very awful. However, about a week ago I found a small bump on the right side of my neck. It can move and isn t exactly painful unless I mess with it a lot. I saw a doctor and he said it was a shotty lymph node, but I haven t been sick with anything for about a month and I check regularly. It s very small I should note. But he didn t do any bloodwork or anything. Just felt it and said what it was. How concerned should I be?

Hi,
Nothing to worry, there might be having enlarged lymph node in the neck and do not give any attention unless it becomes painful or increasing size.
It shows that there might be having some minor infection in surrounding area like scalp, neck, ear etc.
Rule out some scalp condition like dandruff, fungal infection or folliculitis etc.
Take regular head bath.
Ok and take care.
