What Does A Lump On My Shoulder Indicate?
Hello I have a lump on the top of my shoulder by my neck, it hurts when I push down on it. I popped it last night and tons of puss came out. Today I can still feel the bump but it is feels way deeper underneath the skin. I was just wondering if this could be cancer, it may sound silly but this doesn t seem like a normal pimple. I m sure it has swollen some from me messing with it but it s about the size of a dime. I don t have insurance at the current moment to go and get it checked out

Hi
This isn't cancer but it's a sebaceous cyst that became infected.
If all the pus drained, it may resolve on its own without a course of antibiotics
