Answers:
You should see a doctor for two reasons -- one, no one can diagnosis a lump over the internet and two, this is obviously worrying you!.
My guess is you're noticing a lymph node!. There are lymph nodes in the clavicle area and that's about the right size for a normal lymph node!. This lump could also represent a cyst or other small, benign growth!. Given the size, I would not be worried about cancer, but just have your doctor check it out and make sure it's nothing to worry about!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
