A member asked:

Woke up yesterday with hard smooth lump in left side of my neck. today left side of my neck feels kind of stiff, sore and itchy. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neck lump: This may be an enlarged lymph node which is a response to some irritation or skin inflammation possibly from cosmetics, jewellery,clothing,etc. It could also have been due to an insect bite. If the redness is not severe, try applying a cortisone type cream. If redness worsens, if the lump doesn't recede or if new ones appear, see your physician for evaluation.
