Suggest Remedy For Lump On Back Side Of Neck

Hi, I m a 27yr old female. I ve had a lump on the back right side of my neck for about 2 1/2yrs. It s about 1.5in height and 1in wide. It s given me pain and a tingly sensation off and on ever since it came up. I feel like I also have one deep in the back of my left thigh which aches sometimes. I ve been told it s probably a lipoma. I ve also had drenching night sweats off and on for a couple years and more recently it s been every night. I keep my room very cool and a fan blowing directly on me. I m not overweight either so idk what this is. Any advice on what s going on would help! Thanks!

Hello. Thank you for using healthcaremagic. I'm a pathologist. The lump you have sounds like an enlarged lymph node. Since you have night sweats as well, I am suspecting there is an ongoing infection. The best next step for you would be to undergo an FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology ) procedure, wherein the cells in the lump will be aspirated to examine, for the diagnosis. Also you could do a complete blood count as well. Let me know what the reports are, so I can help you further.
Have a happy health.
