Lump: Likely a lymph node or a cyst. If persists without other symptoms for over a week, see an MD. If feeling ill, see a doctor sooner.

Can a normal sized lymph node in the neck be visible as a small bump when moving head and neck certain positions? Especially in a very thin person? Or would it more likely be a bump from a vein similar to what can be seen from the back of a hand?
