Same doc : If you noticed changes and given location of the skin growth this will the right time to have it reassessed. Ideally with same doc, you may want to take pictures also so that it can be compared in time.

Neck growth: Benign causes of a lump in the back of the neck include a wen, inclusion cyst or a lipoma. Consult a dermatologist or a general surgeon for diagnosis and advice.
