Lump on neck

bin_tenn · Apr 29, 2021

Probably a normal anatomical structure. It wouldn't hurt to mention it to your doctor if you feel like it's abnormal, but yes, this is a very common concern for us health anxiety folks. The body is full of seemingly odd lumps and bumps, and if we go looking (or sometimes by accident, as in your case) we can find them.

Exactly where?

I’d say just under the hairline, on the right side near the middle if that makes any sense. It’s on a pretty muscular part of the neck I just don’t know the anatomical name for it.

Could possibly be a occipital gland.

could be a lymph node too

The most common lumps or swellings are enlarged lymph nodes. These can be caused by bacterial or viral infections, cancer (malignancy), or other rare causes.
Swollen salivary glands under the jaw may be caused by infection or cancer. Lumps in the muscles of the neck are caused by injury or torticollis.

Can also be thyroid nodules.

Where did that information come from? That's a very broad statement. For example, swelling or lumps in the fingers are almost certainly never lymph nodes...

Quite positive this is a bot account. Search for the first two sentences (same with its other posts) on Google and you'll find verbatim copies.
