Hmm, what to do?

[Markz]

I was washing my face and started wiping the back of my neck, then I felt a lump. I'm probly thinking too much into it back is it anything to be at all worried about?

I know I usually don't talk this serious on here but this is nagging me...

 

[Wrestling Station]

can u explain more plz?

 

[Markz]

Well on the back of my neck there is a lump, just developed probly in my sleep because it wasn't there a couple of days ago.

 

[PeepShow]

Is it a pimple?

I mean can you look at it and see what it looks like? Is it red?

Can you elaborate more than just saying "It's a lump"

 

[Markz]

It's colourless, it expands in a way when I more my head forward. That's all I know!

Bad Posture??

when you say a lump are we talking like a lump like if you bumped your head and it started to swell or is it more like a ball of skin? Either way if your not sure what it is, its always a good thing to get checked out.

I have whats called a skin tag on the back of my waist. Its like a ball of skin and fortunatly for me, thats all it is. But I still got it checked out. I'm told it can be removed too, which I probably will do one day when I get around to it, but since it was nothing to worry about I've left it for now.....good thing I'm married, I'm sure it would send any other girl running

lol This Guy, anyway, you should get it checked out. Better safe than sorry.

What kind of question is this, instead of going to see a doctor, you ask a bunch of 13-17 year olds on an internet forum? good idea

I think he is like 13 himself.

Anyway, get it checked out.

IT CANCER...YOU HAVE CANCER...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

Jk of course but no idea...I'm like the worst one when it comes to this stuff...

 

[CT Styles]

Like someone said better safe then sorry. I had an issue recently that isn't normal and I told my parents. Went to doctor. needed surgery. had it. and now i'm fine. So get it checked out.

ok, from my point of view, you might have something called cyst.
another option could be that you may could have gotten an injury (stress fracture) which maybe caused from wrong position of sleeping, causing too much stress to your neck.

You need to take an x-ray for your upper cervical vertebraes to make sure that if its a stress fracture (aka chin fracture) of the space between the muscle and the bone (the space between muscle and bone). that would lead to inflammation.

So my advice for you,... x-ray is your first step here.

Wellll in the thread title it clearly asks: WHAT SHOULD I DO? therefore you're asking someone and since you didn't specify who you want your answer from, i assume you're asking everyone
