What Causes Lump Under The Jaws?

I have a lump under my jaw line, on my back by my neck and next to my clavicle bone on my right side. They are not sore to the touch and they seem to move around if you push on them. I ve been keeping an eye on them to see if they get any bigger and the don t. Most of the time I would say they might get as big as a nickel but over time they seem to get smaller. They seem to go back and forth in size from small to big and then small again. I need to go in and have them looked at but I m scared to. What do you think ?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your lump get bigger and smaller. So you may have some reactive lymphnode enlargement or sebaceous cyst. You should go for a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then you should go for excision biopsy and histopathological examination.
Then if needed take further treatment according to diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
