A member asked:

I have multipule large bumps on the back of my neck near my hair line, they hurt to the touch and burn a little, what could they be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Details: Are they raised, red, draining? How many? How long have they been there? Getting better/worse? The most common reasons for painful masses are infectious. You should be seen by a physician to determine etiology and treatment. Your primary care doctor or a dermatologist would be a good first evaluation.
