Could The Recurring Lump On The Back Of The Neck Be Due To Swelling Of Lymph Node?
A few weeks ago I noticed a small lump on the back of my neck right near my hear on the left side, I realized it is back again, same spot, same sensitivity. Could it be a swolen lymph node? I just got my hair bleached and was wondering if that may cause it

HI. There i more chance that this is a sebaceous cyst , small one to start with and might have got mildly infected , It can be a lymph node also if it is just behind the ear .
A small course of an antibiotic will solve this. If not solved, please consult a Doctor to confirm what it is ?
If possible it is always wise to get such swellings removed and subjected to histological examination.
