What Could Knots On Back Of Neck With Headache Suggest?

I have a knot in the back of my neck..right next to my spine on the right side. It has been there for a while now and i always assumed it was just a knot . it hasn t changed in size. but recently its causing headaches and hurts to tilt my head back. I can only feel the knot if i put my chin to my chest. Is this something i need to have looked at?

Hi, happy to help you on your health concern!

In the present case of nape of neck swelling or lump, if I were your consulting physician, I would just say you, 'nothing to worry!'

As per your description, it is benign harmless lesion like skin tag or common papilloma or some neurofibroma!

Take caution not to get injured there as this might invite infection.

If you are still worried, please get an FNAC test for confirmation and revert back to us.

Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries.

Wishing you the best health!
