I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged lymphnode due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. Or it can be some soft tissue tumor, cyst or skin adenexal tumor.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
