What Causes Painful Bump Above Adam S Apple?

I have a bouncy ball size maybe bigger bump above my adams apple. I read online that it could be some kind of cyst so I put acne medicine on the area. My throat hurts when I swallow and it moves up and down as I swallow. Should I be worried about this?

This one is a thyroid colloid cyst and application of medicine over the skin would not help much!

Please go for USG with an FNAC test to relieve your tension.

All the best and regards,
