Cyst (by sarah)
On the back of my neck for years there has been this little bump for years I think it may even predate Jean - it got investigated as a potential for some some of my back pain a few years ago but they decided it was just a fatty lump I think they are called lypomers?
Anyway two weeks ago it started getting bigger and then the last few days it started to hurt and the skin had gone red. Anyway Dr yesterday had a look and it isn't a fatty lump at all it's a cyst and it has become infected. So I am taking antibiotics and it is already shrinking - the photos were taken by myself and after it had already started shrinking but you can just about see it.
The Dr said she doesn't remove cysts on the back of the neck like that as they can be deep. But to talk to one of the other drs and maybe go to the hospital.
