lump in neck?

I was born with a small lump toward the lower end of my neck in the front. it doesnt cause me any pain but i am constantly asked if it is related to thyroid or fibromitosis. Both of these terms scare me, i guess my question  is that over the last two years its almost tripled in size. I am starting to worry. I have no insurance and am low income. Does anyone have an idea what this could be? concerned and confused.....please help

It may not have anything to do with your thyroid.  It may involve your lymph nodes.  You need to spend the $30 for an office visit and see if you can get a diagnosis then take it from there. At least know what you are dealing with.  Tell the doctor your situation.  Just start with a diagnosis.  You can refuse treatment if you want to.

If you can move it, it might be just a cyst they can grow and shrink all the time. If you can't move it and it hurts then apply for charity care at a clinic or hospital and get it looked at.
