Hi everyone,
I've noticed for the past day now that right under my jaw (left side) and right above my neck, I feel a bump under my skin. I'm not sick or anything, I'm not allergic to anything, or I'm in college and doing the same routine every day. I can sort of feel it, but it doesn't hurt at all. I just googled "bump under jaw" and came across this article:
http://www.webmd.com/children/tc/swollen-glands-and-other-lumps-under-the-skin-topic-overview#1
It doesn't say that it will go away or not. My most recent doctor visit was last year and everything was fine.
If you see from this link (one below here), there's a picture of someone with a bump right under her jaw. That's not where mine is, it's down and right just where the neck meets the jaw.

From this article (below here) it says it could be "Swollen salivary glands under the jaw may be caused by infection or cancer."

I'm not an expert on anatomy but is it a gland? Should I visit a doctor? Or will it go away? It's not really poking out, if I look 90 degrees (straight forward) I can feel the slightest bump, but when I loop up I can definitely tell the difference compared to the other side of my neck.
Thank you.
