What Causes Lump Below Hairline?

i have a hard pea size lump below my hair line on the right of my neck about 1 inch from the centre of my neck. it does not move and i have had this for about 4 months now. it does seem to be getting bigger now. i origionally thought it was a boil but it has not surfaced and is still underneath the skin and not visable. it is not painful. what could it be?

HI,Dear,thanks for the query to HCM.
I studied your query in FULL details given by you.
-Regarding Cause of GROWING Lump below the hairline on the back of neck-
In my opinion its -Lymphnode or Sebaceous Cyst?
But mostly its lymphnode-as its not movable and not painful.
If still doubt -ER surgeons clinical data would resolve the cause of this hairline lump.
Hope this would help you to plan your treatment with your treating doctor.
Wish you fast recovery.
Wellcome to HCM for any further query in this reguard.
Good Night from INDIA.
