Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have hard lump on back of neck. It can be due to enlarged lymphnode due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. Or it may be some soft tissue tumor or skin adenexal tumor.
You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
