I am not normally scared easily by sickness or other medical events, and I haven't seen a doctor in the last 10 years. Now, there is this red and painful lump on the front of my neck and my thoughts keep wondering to the lump. What can this be? Is it serious? These thoughts... keep bugging me. So do you have any idea what this lump of mine could be? If needed, I could try and take a picture of it to post up on here.
