Hello, I m a 30 yr old male. Few weeks ago I felt a lump located on the right hand side of my neck, just above the hairline. At first it was sore to touch and it got larger and lager, this all occurred during a 10 day time frame. There was some pain when touched during this 10 day period. However since then the lump has got smaller, it s somewhat pea sized, and there s no pain when touched. On the other hand when I gently pull the hair on the lump it more or less comes of without any effort or pain, unlike the usual irritation caused when pulling ones hair. Is there something I should be worried about? I would appreciate your help!
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged cervical lymph node due to reactive hyperplasia.  Any infection in Chat Doctor.  No need to worry about that. It will go away by itself.  If it remains persistent then antibiotic treatment is required. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
