A member asked:

I have a bump on back of my neck for 2 weeks. mom says it looks like a pimple but if it was a pimple shouldnt it be gone by now? its been two weeks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could be: a cyst. Warm compresses to it 4-5x/day and see if it comes to a head and drains. If not and it grows in size, you may want to have a surgeon remove it..
