Dermatologist, Dr. Ilyas Patel's Response

Hi,

Pea size lump on neck most probably would be sebacious cyst. It may be called epithelioid cyst. However, you consult dermatologist or surgeon for firm diagnosis. It is a benign condition. Sometime it may become infected. Then, antibiotics for short period may be taken. The cyst may be removed surgically under local anaesthesia. It is a minor procedure done in OPD. You may become alright. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
