Small lump on neck below earlobe
About 2 or 3 weeks ago I noticed a small lump an inch or so behind / below my earlobe. I can feel it with my finger but not really see properly it because of the location - I photographed it on my phone and it is more or less colourless with what looks like dry skin on top. It is probably less than .5cm in diameter, but seems to have grown a little since I noticed it as a small pimple. Should I be concerned? (I'm 72)

Hi there,
A new growth in a location that cannot be easily seen and therefore assessed by you I think is worth checking out for sure. See your GP and if he/she is uncertain, then they can refer to you a dermatologist.
All the best!
