Hi,Good Evening.Thanks for the query to HCM.I studied it in depth and I understood your health concerns.
-Treatment-for-neck-lump-
1- Mostly it appears to be -Lympadenitis with Scalp infection and with TB hyperplasia are the causes and need to be ruled out by clinical and FNAC Biopsy.
2-IF you find it as fatlike and soft-Sebaceous Cyst and or Dermoid Cyst is the possibility.
3-As you are scared now-I would advise you to consult a Surgeon who would fix the diagnosis from either of the causes above and would treat it accordingly.
Dont get scared and uneasy,but be cautious and act fast.
Hope this would help you a lot to relieve you of the scare of cancer.
Wish you fast recovery-and healthy life.
Wellcome to HCM with more queries till you are satisfied.
Have a Good Day...!!
