My 11 year old is complaining of a marble size lump on his neck just above the hairline (slightly to the left side). It is movable and painful to the touch. It is not red---just normal flesh colored. I am thinking it could be possibly a swollen lymph node or a cyst. I plan on calling his doctor Monday but I am just trying to ease my mind till the weekend is over. Any ideas?
This is most probably a swollen lymph node that is painful to touch due to infection it might also be a lipoma which is smooth rubbery lump that is easily movable under the skin
