Pea sized lump on the upper left side right next to the Addams Apple

Hey everyone, I would like to ask about something that scared me for these 2-3 days.

Apparently 2 days ago, I touched myself around the neck and I accidentally stumbled on a small Pea sized lump right next to the Addams Apple. It doesn't hurt nor I have ever felt anything from it, when I grab it its a little hard.

As a reference im 20 years old and I still get acne to this day. Is it possible that its some sort of Underskin acnehat will go away on its own?

[I can provide pictures if someone requests]

    Dont think its anything to do with acne. It may be a lymph node or it may be a cyst. If it doesnt get any bigger,doesnt bother you, doesnt ache and you feel well, then just ignore it. If it gets bigger or you feel unwell then time to see your doctor. If it just reassures you then go along anyway. Doctors are asked to check out lumps all the time, and wont think you are wasting their time.

      It was a Lymph node indeed, it disappeared on its own. Thanks for the reply 😃
