I know that you may be scared but you really should bring this to your parents attention. It may be nothing. But it needs to be looked at. If you ignore it, it won't just go away.

It could be a lymph node which is swollen. do you have any other swollen glands in your neck or groin? Do you have any other symptoms? 15 is pretty young to have cancer, although it does happen. I would discourage you from immediately jumping to that conclusion. Show your mum and have it checked if you are worried.

You should definitely go and talk to your parents or doctor about this. This could get worse if you don't bring this to anyone's attention. Save yourself stress down the road, and tell people about this.
