Hi ive had a lump on my neck that has been there for more than a year now. At first it was small and barely noticeable, but now it has more than doubled in size and is very red and painful. I do have alot of sinus congestion and I think it may have something to do with it. I am setting up a docots appointment asap.
Hello! Thank you for the query. Lump on the neck which has gotten bigger sounds like an enlarged lymph node. As it is painful, sinus infection can be a factor of it. Sometimes such lump can appear due to lymphoma, therefore you should not ignore it. Other skin lesions like debacles cyst should be also considered. You are right consulting a doctor as soon as possible. Ultrasound of this area should be done. If it's an inflammatory sebaceous cyst, needs to be incised and Chat Doctor.  If it is a lymph node, biopsy of it and blood work should be done. Hope this will help. Regards.
