Cyst: It is probably a cyst or lipoma and is of no consequence and should cause you no harm

Soft lump bet c7&T1: It appears you have slipped disc. go to your family doc ,he may do MRI or ct scan to confirm this experience. HE may refer to a specialist after getting radiologist report During the mean time use soft collar if prescribed by your family doctor.
