Head Lump - Please help!!!!

I've got a small hard bony lump on my skull...at the back of my head to the right on the occipital bone(?). I've been aware of it for almsot two years now and it hasn't changed or caused any symptoms or anything like that. It feels round and I can feel it stuck to my skull. It's relativly small. It's freaking me out, and I know I should go to the doctors to be sure but...after having it this long without any problems do you think its anything to worry about? I'm freaked out that I have bone cancer or something like that.
BTW. I'm 17/ female.
