Dear friend,
You have a bump on neck at lower part of head. i would like to know since how long it is there? if it is recent origion then it may be a simple boil or abscess. If it is there since long, then it may be a lipoma or dermoid (or sebaceous) cyst. Simple boil will healed with antibiotics but lipoma and cyst needs surgical removal.

Thank you,
Get well soon..!!
