A member asked:
There's lump on back of neck, what kind of doctor should i see?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You should see a doc: You can start with your family doctor or a general physician. All physicians know how to investigate a lump. This will require physical examination as the first step. Then there may be a need for a test or two and a possible biopsy or excision depending on the doctors impression of its cause.
