Suggest Treatment For Lump On Back Of My Neck

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... hi, i'm a 15 year old male. about a year ago i noticed a small pea shaped lump sort of thing under my skin the back of my neck under the hair line. it is no more than a centimeter long. it causes no pain/redness/itching. it is just there. it should also be noted i live a pretty stressful life so i am wondering if this might have anything to do with it.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have enlarged posterior occipital lymphnode due to reactive hyperplasia or some soft tissue tumor. You should go for examination. if needed take a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable.
Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
