What Can Be The Swelling In The Neck That Itches And Grows In Size ?

Thanks for your query.
Swelling over neck can be due to multiple reasons.
It can be a boil, lymph node , cyst,papular urticaria.
Does he have fever, sore throat recently?
Is he on any medications presently?
Is the skin over the lump normal /reddish inflamed?
Is there history of similar swelling in past?
Any where else in body does he have swelling?
