Cyst On The Back Of The Neck Getting Bigger. Need To Be Removed?
My brother has a cyst on the back of his neck and his Dr. told him a few years back that since he does not have headaches or it does not bother him - then leave it alone. Well it is growing and just in the last couple of months it is really huge. I am wondering if Dr.s do experimental surgeries or what. He has no health insurance anymore .

Dear customer,
If the cyst is growing fast then have the fnac done to rule out any malignancy or cancer.Most cyst do not cause any symptoms except have a cosmetic disadvantage.
The fnac will help in knowing the contents of the cyst and rule out any cancer potential.
Just visit the doctor/surgeon near you and get it done at the earliest.
