What Causes Lump Along The Jaw Bone And Neck Pain?

I'm here to ask a question for my bf. He is age 21 height 6ft 190lbs. As of Nov. 26 he developed a strange lump on the side of his face along the jaw bone. He was also experiencing alot of neck pain that day... I really want to know what this could possibly be.

Hello! Welcome to HealthCareMagic.
The lump can be an enlarged lymph node/ abscess/ osteoma/ sebaceous cyst..
You havent mentioned about fever or any discharge from it/ consistency..
Local examination will tell us the diagnosis & FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology confirms it.
Treatment is accordingly.
Hope this information is useful to you.
Wish you healthy life.
Thanks. Regards.
