Why Is There A Sore Lump On The Base Of Neck?
Hi, I have a mole at the base of my neck and more recently I have discovered a lump under the skin in the area of the mole. It is a hard lump, but I can move it under the skin by applying pressure with my finger. There is frequent feelings of discomfort or soreness in the lump. Should I be concerned?
