Hi
Welcome to hcm
You have not told your age. Mostly such small lump at that location are lymph node which is not much of consern if you are a young chap. In older age group this requires fine needle aspiration cytology test to confirm that it is not malignant/cancer. Also do one ultrasound neck to look for thyroid gland. Other possibility is thyroglossal cyst which needs surgery. So kindly show it once to the surgeon because unless examined it, the exact cause cannot be diagnosed.
