A member asked:
Neck mass, what can it be, scar tissue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a Doctor: A neck mass can be serious so please get checked. I can't tell what a mass is unless i examine a patient and that is hard to do over the internet. It could be a swollen lymph node and that could be from an infection or from cancer so don't fool around. Good luck!
