Is this a cause for concern?

 was scratching my neck and found a pea sized lump by my collar bone it doesn’t hurt and it moves and feels squishy before I freak out and start thinking tumor or neck cancer worst case scenario it could be something as harmless as a cyst or a fatty scar lymphoma right ?

I’m a healthy fit 27 year old guy very active and have no history of cancer in my family

    Could be a cyst. If it's not growing in size, it's unlikely that it's cancerous.  Get it checked out for sure though.

    It is probably an inflamed lymph node from an infection somewhere in your body or teeth problems - when I had the lump I got various tests and it turned out to be underactive thyroid.
