What Causes Painful Little Bumps On The Neck?
On 5/12 I noticed a knot on the right side of my neck which didnt really bothered me except when I pushed on it it hurt I just knew it wasn t supposed to be there. Then maybe later on that day or the next I noticed a pimple on the back of my neck and above my collarbone at least I thought it was a pimple but then it turned into tiny little bumps. Now that whole area of my neck is painful. I havent went to my doctors yet or the hospital because I was hoping it would go away. Do you have any idea what it is any how to get rid of it?

Hello,
It seems to be of lymph node enlargement secondary to the infection of upper or lower respiratory tract region. In majority of the cases, it resolves over a period of time, once the inciting event is controlled; only certain cases need a lymph node biopsy to look into the pathological nature of the condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
