How To Remove White Hard Lump Under Skin At Base Of Neck?
I have had a white hard lump under my akin at the base of my neck right at the collar bone. It has been there for several months. Just recently it got a little bigger and is really tender to the touch and stays red around it. I squeezed it today and got alot of white hard smelly puss to come out and some clear oozy liquid. What could this be I m really worried about what it could be?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some dermoid cyst or sebaceous cyst. Or you may have some soft tissue tumor or lymphnode enlargement.
You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
