Hello!! The lump or palpable lymph node in the neck area may be because of multiple reasons. Most commonly it is because of dandruff or any infection in scalp or ear or anything like sore throat. It is very important to know the size, duration or area of neck where you can feel the lump. Also in indian population TB is also common for such presentation.

Next Steps

Hence a course of antibiotics followed by re evaluation of lump is advisable before you jump to diagnosis of cancer

Health Tips

If it doesn't settle with the said medications biopsy to rule out TB and cancer is done.
