But, today he felt it and and it is bigger than usual. In the past he has also suffered from sebastious cyst. Can you please help?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query
Such a big lump which increases and reduces with time for the last one years must be seen by an ENT or a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and investigations.
The best treatment is to get this removed for 2 reasons.
1. You get rid of the disease and
2. you get a perfect histo-path diagnosis.
So go for the surgical opinion and get this lump removed.
