A member asked:
There's a small lump noticed months ago about 1/2way down side of neck under skin, not like a pimple. can't tell if it's vein or cartilage. what is it?

Neither: A lump in neck is neither cartilage (which, in the neck, is always connected to bone) nor vein (which does not form lumps). The only way to diagnose what it is is to have a doctor feel it.
