What does this lump on the left side of my neck mean?!


Question: What does this lump on the left side of my neck mean?
Answers:

It's most likely 1 of 2 things...it's either a swollen lymph node which may be a sign of an infection somewhere/anywhere in your body...such as as cold/flu,etc.
Or,it could be a cyst,and this would have to be checked out by your doctor.
I'm guessing it's a swollen lymph node due to a recent cold,flu,infection.But,still you should consult with your doctor just to be on the safe side.
Good luck,and I hope everything checks out ok for you.



Could be a number of things. Could be cancer, an infected lymph node, cat scratch fever, etc etc.

If it hurts, go to a doctor ASAP. If it doesn't and you have no symptoms, wait a day or two and see if it clears up on its own. If you develop symptoms, again, doctor time!



Depends on where exactly it is? What size it is and what it looks like. It can something as simple as a swollen lymph node responding to an infection. A cyst or skin tag or something more serious your not giving enough information to give you any good answer?



You better get checked by a dr.
