Im super worried, i have 3 bumps on the back of my neck all in a straight line like literally all in the same spot of my neck and in a straight line..one is big one is kinda big and one is small...at first i had one and then it got small but then it got big again and now i have 3. I really cant go to a doctor so if anyone has any info please help me...they are red, kinda hard and hurt when i move my neck or touch them. they arent that deep they are just basically on top of the skin but it does go inside a bit. ive had a slight fever/cold lately too...if that matters. plz plz plz answer or give me some info...Should i be worried?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Most possible cause seems like infective lump (abscess, infected cyst) which cause pain with fever.
2.Next possible is lymphatic enlargement, multiple linear - rarely painful.
3.In this case you need a ultrasound neck get done, it will help in assess the nature of the lesion, its source and extensions.
4.In any case you need to see your doctor. In case of infection - a course of antibiotic / incision and drainage will treat.
5.In case of lymph nodal - need to find the cause and treat, in vascular needs intervention.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
