Is A Small Lump On The Left Side Of The Neck A Matter Of Concern?

I have a small lump on the left side of my neck underneath the skin. Its not really visible and i feel no pain. I was straining prior to discovering it, so i assume there s room for concern. I was just wondering if i should be alarmed or if it s normal.
