 Depending on the actual location, possibilities include a calcified lymph node, or a calcified hematoma.
Given your age, cancer is less likely but should be considered when a painless hard lump is discovered.
If you are concerned about the lump I would recommend that you have it evaluated.
Best wishes.

Just read yur post and it sounds like yu have exactly the same symptoms as a male friend of mine. He only noticed the intense iching till he bled and his wife made him go to a dr. He was then refered t a dermatoligist who discvered a hard painless node by accident. These two things cmbined led this dr t refer him for further tests and it was discovered that he has Lymphomas.
The Doctors he is now seeing say that iching as a presenting symptom is very unusual as a first sign but it is a sign, so I would suggest you get an appointment.
