What Could A Lump On The Back Of Neck Be?

My son 18 discovered a quarter size lump on the back of his neck on the right side. I felt it, it feels hard but it doesn t hurt him unless you really press on it. He has allergies and has had bad acne and has been on an antibiotic as treatment for about 7 weeks now. Any ideas?

Hi! this is nothing but a sebaceous cyst or could be some other benign conditions like lipoma, neurofibroma or a skin-tag/papilloma!

there is nothing to worry in any case and if still it worries you kindly go for an FNAC test for confirmation.

all the best!
