Hi,Dear,thanks for query to HCM, from you for your itchy bumpy rash with lamotirigine,for which your doctor stopped the drug,but you had another bump with pain from last 3 days.1-I studied your query in depth.2-In my opinion ,this lump on the neck back is most probably-lump due to the drug rash itself ....and needs to be treated aggressively 2-I would hence advise to take opinion of a Surgeon , as it is mostly lump with central necrosis ,and would need a drain if not reduced with NSAID, and steroids and Cetrizine treats-taken under observation of your ER doctor.5-Hope you got the answer you needed.6-Wellcome for more query to HCM.
