General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Noted the history about hard lumps below the skin on face and now on neck and back part of head, the one on back are red and painful.
The commonest reasons for such lumps can be summarized as below:
Tight sebaceous cysts as the one on the face or painless and not red.
The one on teh back of head and neck might have infected.
This can be diagnosed by a clinical examination by a General Surgeon.
Removal may be the only option hence get ready for surgery if advised so by the Surgeon.
Do not try to pop as this only increases the complications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
