hard lump in neck under skin

[mbradyc]

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..

I am a 22 year old female I actually went to the doctor 5 months ago because I was having these killer headaches everyday and he said that it was stress from school.I got a MRI done and there were no problems. yayy! My neck was very very tense and he found a lump(most likely a muscle knot). Well now it's been four months and the muscle knot hasn't gone away but the headaches went away as soon as I finished my semester at school. So I was just wondering whether it was a muscle knot or something else? Thanks for the replies ahead of time.

I am 13, and I have had a lump, which is most likely a cyst, in the side of my neck for about 3 years. I had it ever since I was choked by this retarded kid over something stupid. It was nothing serious. But... Ever since that day, I have had lumps in my neck. I used to be scared to death it was cancer, but I would've died or something at this point if it was. I'm too scared to ask the doctor. I also have it on the other side of my neck, and in the vaginal area. Im not so much worried. I mean, I kinda have forgotten about them. But, I am sharing this to tell you idiots it is not cancer. And go to the freaking doctor if you are do dang worried. Most likely, it's a cyst. They can give you medication, or drain it... you know. Non-risky stuff. I doubt they even need to preform surgery. So yeah. I'm thirteen and know more than most of you. :P

ok on the right side about an inch under my ear and an inch from my jaw i have a hard lump under my skin that feels like its attatched to muscle thats there. there is a masquito bite on top of it but they dont seem to be related to each other. does anything know what the possibilities are of it being cancer? i am 15 turning 16 in September.

i also felt one lump when i put my neck down i feel it. i scared ... it was... and exams are near the corner. i am sec 1 only... i dont want to die so early. some of my friends and adults said it maybe was a growing "apple" but i think it is not. The "apple" can grow at the side of neck? i dun think so. untill now it is still not so pain. so i really very scared.
