I've had this small bump on the side of my neck ever since I was a small child and when you press on it, it moves. Could it possibly be a benign tumor?

If you can move it around it more than likely is a cyst.If it takes root and you can't roll it around with your fingers then it could be cancer. These are very easily removed. Go to the Dr. and have him talk to you about having it removed. I had one just under my left eyebrow. The surgery was easy, All I had was two stitches. The surgeon just made a small incision and popped the cyst right out and stitched me up. He deadened the site before he cut. Nothing to it.Please get it checked out.

Yeah, it's a tumor. But before you panic, lemme clear things up: Tumor is a general term for any new growth of tissue, so having a tumor doesn't mean your sick or anything. If the tumor is encapsulated and movable (like in your case), most probably it's benign or safe. I'm guessing that your tumor is just made up fat. If your not convinced yet, go visit your doctor and have it checked. if your not comfortable with it, you can have it surgically removed.

Firstly I'm no expert so see a doctor. I think they are blocked glands that can be lanced or drained a bit sore but not too bad. They may begin as a small sweat gland and build up over time be smart and get it checked out very simple procedure good luck

Not every lump and bump is a tumor. You still need to go to the doctor to get it looked at though. If you've had it since you were oung, I think you're safe.

probably not, but you should go get it checked out at a doctor or hospital, so that if it is a tumor you can get it taken care of before it gets out of control

I doubt it, it could be a cyst or something, but getting it looked at would be a good thing.
