What Does A Red Lump On The Back Of The Neck Suggest?
Hi I believe a day or 2 ago I noticed a red lump on the back of my neck unsure of what it was me and a friend assumed it was a spider bite currently it is very itchy and seems to be peeling, through some research I ve come to think it s a swollen lymph node, I have never had this kind of bump in my life. But within the last week I had unsafe sex at a party.... Now I amaboalutly terrified as to what it could be please help me understand the possibilities

Hi there.
It could be a superficial skin infection. Apply antibiotic life Bactroban. Apply ice. Get a complete blood count. Take oral antibiotic as well.
