Have Painless, Immovable, Nodule On Back, Itching And Enlargement. Is This Cancer?
I have a painless, immovable, nodule on the back of my neck on the left side over bone. its been there for about a year. Recently it has started itching and became enlarged after scratching but went back down. I feel pain of a 2 on a scale of 1-10 when i turn my head certain way. Could this be cancer? synovial sarcoma?

Dear cpris,
it must me some sort of infection in your scalp in the occipital region which has given rise to tender nodule on your neck. Dandruf can be the other cause for it. this has nothing to do with cancer.
