Why The Neck Has Swelling And Hardness After The Seroma Has Cleared Up?

I had a cyst removed from my neck 5 1/2 weeks ago and a seroma ever since. It seemed to be clearing up, and the fluid loss was down to a constant drip, but now a new swelling is growing again that feels harder than the original seroma and not necessarily fluid filled. Advice please!

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

First of all you need to diagnose the reason for swelling.

You can diagnose it with the HRCT thorax. It will give you exact dimensions of swelling and the nature of the same is also should be known.

The common cause of the swelling rising is the cystic hygroma in this area.

If its so, than there is need for radical cure.

Until you are not done with the radical cure this swelling will never goes permanently.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
