People often ask me that... what you're probably referring to is known as the "Vertebral Prominens" or the spinous process of C7 (sometimes it can be T1).  

It's pronounced in everyone, not just you. If you feel concerned and it has become painful, then by all means, consult with a chiropractor. But if the only thing that bothers you is that you can feel it, I wouldn't sweat it.

Warm wishes,
