Bump On Neck Between Skin And Muscle, Pains When Touched. Found Another But Disappeared After Few Hours

Hi I don t know if my age has anything to do with this but I am a 32 yr old female and about 6 months ago I found a small (smaller than a pea) bump on the left side of my neck and it s like right between the skin and the muscle..It doesn t move at all and there s no pain until touched and is sensitive to the touch around the area..I also found another one about the same size as the first one was about 4-5 hours ago that wasn t there this morning..I went to the clinic today to see if maybe they could help me figure out what these lumps in my neck are and I just got referred to a surgeon.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.

According to your description , pain and bump over your neck seems to be inflammatory in nature.

I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination of swelling and rule out any infective cause

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
