Q: lumps at top of Sternocleidomastoids

For a few weeks now, I have noticed these two lumps. They're hard, unmovable, about a few inches long. I can feel them more when my neck is bent over to that side, but when it's bent to the other side they feel like part of the muscle that runs down each side of my neck. I can feel my skull above them so I know it's not that. One is a little bigger than the other.

To give you an idea of the place where they are, on that diagram, they are at the top of my Sternocleidomastoids.

They seem to be egg shaped, but lumps, like they stick out of the muscle a little. I run my finger down where they are and I feel a groove where they are near my skull then they go in, then it's muscle.

Any ideas what this could be please?

Just to add, I'm 15 and in just about good health. I don't smoke or anything.

Okay, I'm guessing it's quite normal as my mother has the same. I'm guessing it's just the top of my muscle, like where it ends. Am I correct in thinking that?

I can't go to a doctor because I really don't like them. Well, not them personally, I just have a fear in case there's something seriously wrong.

I don't know whether they are lumps on the Sternocleidomastoids or whether they are the Sternocleidomastoids, just where they end?

Any replies would be much appreciated.
