Hi,

I can understand your concern for knot on back of neck in which clear liquid comes out in your boy friend. As per your history it appears to be the problem of "Sebaceous cyst".

Sebaceous cysts are the collection of cheezy material surrounded by a wall. The treatment is by excision of the cyst. During excision if any of the part of cyst or the wall is remaining can cause recurrence and infection in the area.

Accordingly you can go for excision or cauterization of the cyst. Cauterization do help in recurrent situations like this but I think it would be better to take a second opinion from a good surgeon.

I hope these information's will help you.
