I have just found two new lumps on the back of my neck. they are sore to touch and was wondering should i be concerned?

Get them checked: These could be either cysts or lymph nodes. It would be a good idea to get them checked out especially since they are sore. Most likely they are not anything serious especially if you have no other symptoms, but it would be good to have your doctor take a look at them.
