Default Lump on musk turtles neck

Hey there, I got two musk turtles today from a girl who wasn't taking the best care of them.
One of them seems to have a lump on it's neck. They're still very young.
I will get photos up in a bit, but I don't want to stress them out any more than they have been.
Cheers
Harvey

Just tried to look for it and there was nothing there!
Looked on both turtles.
Could it have been lodged food or something?

It was on one side. About half way down the neck when it was fully extended.
I don't know why I can't find it now!

Hmm, maybe it was a bit of food. Maybe he was just saving that bit for later
