General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Let me tell you that symptoms described by you suggests It’s may be due to sebaceous cyst, furuncles, swollen posterior cervical lymph node or lymphoma. You can better send me a photo of the swelling mass on reports in order to better evaluate it. 
You need some investigation like CT Scan and USG of swelling area for confirmation of diagnosis.

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

Take care 

Regards,
