My husband has a bump on the back of his neck. It started off looking like a tiny black head, but when I tried to extract it nothing came out. Now, a month later, the bump is still there, but its now red and inflamed. Clogged hair follicle or something more serious?
HI. Thanks for your query. With the history you have provided, this looks to be an infected sebaceous cyst. He needs to take an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines under the guidance of a Doctor and apply liquid provide iodine locally. This area b(back of neck) of the body is very sensitive and does cause a problem of irritation. After the proper treatment I would advise this to be excised for 2 reasons. One
