Suggest Treatment For Neck Pain While On Ibuprofen
Need a photograph of the swelling.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I think I will need a photograph of your lump if possible. You can upload it in reports. Also upload any previous reports of the doctors and any other report which you are having. Also I want to know about your family history if anyone is having similar kind of problem. I think it can be a connective tissue disorder or may need neurofibroma with atypical presentation or may be a lipoma which has grown so big as to cause pain or it may be some keloid like thing which has regrowth after the surgery. Anyways, if it is a dermal neurofibroma with atypical presentation, it can be treated with CO2 laser therapy.If it is a lipoma, it needs excision again. If it is a keloid, it will not resolve in size, but can be made stagnant by intra dermal injection of triamcinolone acetate and hyaluronidase. I think you should take some multivitamin supplements of vitamin B12 which is found to be effective in certain neuropathic pain. I think FNAC is a good option for making a diagnosis and to rule out cancer. You can try some physiotherapy also to get relief from your pain. You can discuss all these things with your doctor. If possible, consult a neurologist. Hope this helps.

It seems like a dermal-subcutaneous neurofibroma.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have seen your photos.
In my opinion, it looks most likely a neurofibroma probably a dermal-subcutaneous neurofibroma. The other symptoms which you are describing here also supports this diagnosis. It is basically a nerve sheath tumour which can lead to humps in body at a single or multiple locations.
It can be diagnosed by biopsy and immunohistochemical staining. MRI can also help sometimes. The treatment is generally a CO 2 laser treatment, but it can cause disfigurement of the site of tumors.
Generally surgery is not preferred. Also, it is not precancerous, that means cancer risk is not there. Do discuss with your doctor regarding this. Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any other query, I will be happy to help.
