What Is The Lump At The Back Of My Neck Along My Hair Line?
I found a really hard lump at the back of my neck along my hair line. I also found a lump on the left side of my skull (lower part). Both lasted for about a week. The one on my neck shrunk but is still there and the one on my skull is gone. Oh, I now have a small lump, one on each side, of the back of my neck. They are all painless. Should I be worried?

Hi .
You should not be worried.
These are small boils/ sebaceous cysts. Many times they resolve on their own due to body's resistance power.
You have to worry only if they persist or increase in size or cause pain.
