Noticed A Hard Lump At The Back Of The Neck Below The Skull
I have a hard lump on the back of my neck at the base of my skull. I have had this lump for a couple of weeks now. It is hard and immovable and it shrinks and grows throughout the day. A couple of different times, it has hurt. This pain usually occurs in the morning and then goes away. It is bigger when it is painful and then it shrinks back down again. I had a stiff neck for about 2 weeks before the lump appeared. What could this be?

Hi.
By mere history this looks to be hemangioma by your history of reducing and increasing nature of the swelling... Get this checked by color doppler and Consult a Surgeon to confirm or rule out any sinister problem .
