It could be cancer: but at your age it is more likely to be something else. If you are too concerned to wait a month then find a different health care provider who will agree to have it removed and analyzed.

Possible lymph: node reaction to something. What is your oral health like? See a dentist asap to rule out a problem originating from the mouth.
