Could Psoriasis Result In Lumps On Left Side Of Neck?
Hi I have little lumps on the Left side of my neck, they feel like they are putting alot of pressure on my head. I went to the doctor and he said its muscular damage, but to me it doesn t make sense. I am wondering could my Psoriasis have anything to do with it?

Hi,
Little lumps on left side of neck may be enlarged lymphnodes or sebaceous cysts or fibromas. It is difficult to say with this much history. But, I assure you it is not related with psoriasis. Only secondary infection on scalp might cause enlarged lymphnodes. You ask your examining dermatologist or consult surgeon for firm diagnosis. And accordingly he might suggest treatment. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
