My birdie seem to have a bump on one side of his jaw. This seems to be causing him not to eat. He will drink water, but that is all I can get him to take. He has had it for a couple of months. Although he doesn't seem to be in any distress, I am wondering if this could be something serious.

Can you post a photo of him and the lump? It's possible there is an infection or swelling due to irritation. If he isn't eating then it's likely bothering him. Are you able to look into his mouth and see if there is any irritation or wound that may be causing the problem?

As asked by CooperDragon, a photo of what the lump on your beardie looks like would help in how serious it is.
If he is not willing to eat, I would have to say that it's growing from the inside out, as opposed to being on the surface of the scales.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
