A member asked:

Lump on back of neck near c1 and c2 on left side about the size of a acorn, no pain associated with the bump?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Dan Fisher answered

Cyst: Usually these are sebaceous cysts or lipomas. Both are benign. Could be something else so keep an eye on it and see someone if it is enlarging.
