Over the past few months i've had a small lump in my neck.

It's probably about 3 centimeters in diameter.

It feel's kind of soft (not rock hard at all) and it doesn't hurt.

I've going to the doctors this week to get it checked out

wondering wat you guys think?

Hi, nukem.

It's so hard to say over the net. Cause many things are different to each person. It's great to know you are getting it looked at. All i can say- is don't stress, and see what happens. Could be something simple as a swollen gland.

Good luck- lets us know how you go.

Nukem, I agree with In, it is impossible for use to diagnose this lump over the Internet. So many things could cause a lump. Even if it is a lymph node, so many things could cause a lymph node to grow... primarily and infection of some kind.

You are doing the right thing by having it checked by your doctor. Hopefully, it will be nothing. Keep us informed. Best wishes.
