Hard and Irregularly Shaped Lump in Right Side of Neck

[alaner]

For probably around 5 years now, I've had a hard irregularly shaped lump in the right side of my neck. Originally, I had gotten a bug bite in the same area where the lump is now. It had started small, and a little painful. It is now larger (probably around 2 inches) and very irregularly shaped. The main reason I am concerned now is that it seems to have gotten more irregularly shaped since I've had this lump. The lump is also slightly mobile, and when I press on it or mess with it a little, it feels a little bit sore. Could I potentially have some sort of cancer? If not, what could I possibly have?

I do not think that this is some sort of cancer but you need to have it excised under local anesthetic and a section microscopically examined.

It could be a benign lipoma, triggered by the original trauma (bug bite),
however, please do not "sit" on it for another ...5 years, specially now that it has grown larger and irregularly shaped. Have it checked for your own peace of mind and removed for aesthetic reasons, if benign.
I had one on my upper back, which the doctor removed in less than 5 minutes! That was many years ago. I had almost forgotten about it!

Best wishes,
