A member asked:

I just have one small pea sized lump abo e my adams apple and dont have bad acne. im 30 and never experienced this; what coulx it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cyst: If it is midline, then it could be a thryoglossal duct cyst which can form from remnants of fetal development of the thryoid gland, and anywhere there are hair follicles/oil glands a sebaceous cyst can form. If it is not midline, then consider a swollen lymph node or even salivary gland. Can't be sure without an exam.
