Dr. James Sidman answered

Specializes in Pediatric ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Must see a doctor: A noticeable neck mass in an adult always needs to be checked out by a doctor. The er is not really the place to have this looked into. If you don't have insurance, find a free clinic but don't delay any longer!
