I have a small lump on the back of my neck, off to the left side. I can t look at it directly and my father says it s probably a zit or ingrown hair but when I asked him if there was redness he said no. It feels like it s about the size of a spider bite but it doesn t itch, it s just tender. I tried lancing it and using disinfectant but all I got was a little blood and it doesn t seem to have diminished at all. I m scared it s a tumor or something but I may just be paranoid.
Hi, Dear,Welcome with your query to Chat Doctor. Studied your query in full depth of its details. Reviewed it in context of your health concerns. Based On the facts, You mostly seem to suffer from-unknown bite as you rightly pointed in your query. Second opinion from your Family doctor / Surgeon would fix the diagnosis. It could be boiled with cellulitis in very early stage as the blood has come out after you lanced it.Don't be obsessed and paranoid about it being cancerous-as cancers are not tender or painful initially. This reply would reduce your scare hope so. This reply would help you to plan further treatment soon with your treating doctors. Best of Luck and early recovery. Welcome any further query in this regard, which would be replied in next session. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. N. Senior Surgical Specialist. S. Genl-CVTS
