Hi and thank you for your inquiry. This is a general answer to the question asked. Please click on this link (DoctorOnCall) to talk to us privately.
There are no definite answer to this unless the lump is examined or looked by the doctor. Again there are several reasons as to why there is a lump or swelling behind your neck such as:
- Cyst such as sebaceous cyst
- Lipoma - a grwoth of fat tissue
- An abscess - a lump of white cells and bacteria after infection
- Swollen lymph nodes - from infection or problems with white blood cells
- Acne
- Skin tag - which is an excessive growth of skin
To figure out whether the lump is bringing any harm or not, it must be examined and further questions should be inquired by doctor/medical professional. Alternatively you can contact us by clicking on this link (DoctorOnCall) to talk to us privately. Thank you.
