hard lump in neck under skin
I have had a lump in my neck for 7 years. I have buried my head about it till now afraid of what it may be. The lump is non painfull and about the size of a marble. It is slightly visible and protrudes maybe a tenth of an inch from neck. it has grown very slightly in the seven years. The lump is hard and mobile under skin. it feels like its attached to the skin underneath. the skin over it is normal colored. it is located directly in the middle front of neck just beneath my adams apple. Can anyone tell me possible diagnosis of such lumps. I have no medical insurance and want to know how serious this may be. Please help Matt..
Help please, I have a small bump that is right behind my jaw on my right side. Ive had it for a few months, what is it? How do I treat it? It feels like it isnt even attached to me. At first I thought it was a bug bite since it is pretty common where I live. Suddenly, it became harder and harder, it is firm, but not exactly hard. It is a tiny bit smaller than a marble, feels circlish. I accidentally squeezed it once and It started bleeding, but then the scab came and it returned back to normal, so I doubt it is any kind of cancer. Is this unheard of?
i just noticed a lump under the skin on the back of my neck..were my hair line is...it doesnt hurt but im just curious to know what it is..
PLEASE HELP!
I am 13 and have many small painless mobile lumps of various shapes under and around my jaws, all over my neck, and on the back of my head, some of which I know I have had for years. I went to see a doctor and they were identified as swollen glands, although I dont think the doctor was very thorough in her examination.
I also have a lump like the others, rubbery, painless, and fairly mobile, behind my collarbone. I can push it around a little, but it must be connected to something ecause when i let go it goes back into place. I have read that bumps around the collarbone are usually indications of cancer, and I am really sacred.
But what is really worrying me is a hard lump, unlike the others, ON my what I think is my adam's apple (it's that cartlagey thing sticking out on throat that moves when you swallow.) It feels just like part of the rest of the cartlege it is attached too, only it is just on one side and is growing. It is not really circular like my swollen glands and it moves up when I swallow. I do not really have a family history of cancer, but my grandfather is a lung cancer survivor and my uncle died of lung cancer about a year ago.
Sorry to ask about more than one topic, but I have also been having random pains all over my body. They range from stinging, stabbing pain to dull aching pain and range in severity to a barely noticeable pain to a pain that makes me catch my breath. This has been going on for a couple months now and I am starting to panic. It seems to happen most often when I am not doing anything or watching TV, laying in bed, reading, or doing other things like that. These pains occur very frequently throughout the day. Please help.
I really am worrying a lot about these things and am terrified of dying and cancer. I already have some anxiety issues and these problems are really not helping at all. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I need an answer.

I have this lump on my neck and ive noticed it off and on for a few years. Im 20 years old, female, non smoker or drinker. I can feel it when i put my hand on my right side of the neck. The skin over it can move but the lump doesnt. I can push down on it and it doesnt hurt but feels hard. Im worried about it. I dont have good health insurance but am wondering if this is something that should be checked out immediately or if you think its something that should be left alone? Its located an inch below the jaw bone and an inch or so above my collar bone. Any ideas what it could be?
