<human>: My husband has a bump on the back of his neck. It started off looking like a tiny black head, but when I tried to extract it nothing came out. Now, a month later, the bump is still there, but its now red and inflamed. Clogged hair follicle or something more serious?
<bot>: HI. Thanks for your query. With the history you have provided, this looks to be an infected sebaceous cyst. He needs to take an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines under the guidance of a Doctor and apply liquid provide iodine locally. This area b(back of neck) of the body is very sensitive and does cause a problem of irritation. After the proper treatment I would advise this to be excised for 2 reasons. One: he gets rid of a disease which can cause recurrent problems of infection as he already got it. Secondly - you get a perfect diagnosis what it is.
