my grandmother had a stroke a few months back. she now lives with my mother because she is not strong enough to take care of herself. there is now a lump on the back of my grandmothers neck and it is starting to turn black. should we be concerned? what could it be?
Hi,DEAR,Good Evening,Thanks for the query.I studied it in details and understood your health concerns regarding it. Black lump caused at back of the neck -could mostly due to the-dying out of the boil, which is getting scabbed and died out. FNAC biopsy would fix the cause of the lump as she is old lady and possibility of cancer needs to be ruled out. Hope this would help you to plan your treatment with your doctor. Wellcome for any further query in this regard. Wishing you good health. Good Night. Dr.Savaskar M.N. From INDIA.
