What would a hard tiny lump be on the upper right side of your neck right under your jaw line?

Answer 1

It is probably a gland. Everyone has glands on both sides, but I have always been able to feel one on my left side and not on my right. If you have been sick this may be why you have just noticed it.

Answer 2

Any new "lumps" on your body are never normal and should be evaluated by a medical professional for diagnosis and treatment. It may be nothing. It may be a cyst, or it may be something more serious. You need to go to a doctor. In person. No one is able to (or will) diagnose you online. You only have one body. Please contact a health professional immediately. ~ T

Answer 3

It would be something that I would go see a doctor about. Do you Dip? If you do then it would be something I would run to a doctor and find out about. Do you have in grown hairs or razor bumps? If that is the case I would get a different razor. You don't have to run to get one of those unless you have a hot date. _______________________________________________________________ It could be a swolen salivary gland or even fatty tissue. Would get it checked out anyway. If its under the skin and not visible as a blemish it could just be muscle or even an absess.

Answer 4

That sounds like a lymph node, something that generally swells when your body is fighting off a virus or infection. It ususally is a symptom, and not actually the problem itself. If you are currently ill, this is just another side effect. If you feel fine, you may begin to notice other symptoms in a few days, or it may simply subside. See a doctor depending on the other symptoms you experience.

Answer 5

You should definitely have this checked by your doctor. It could be serious, or totally benign... Usually a small lump right under the jaw will be a swollen lymph node (or some people call them lymph "glands"), which can indicate infection somewhere in your body. Another possibility is inflammation on the left carotid artery.
