Avatar n tn My friends dog is a 9 year old cockapoo, and the other day I noticed she had a red bloody spot in her fur behind her head, on the backside of her neck. The lump is about the size of a walnut; hard and leaking small amounts of blood. My friends not sure if the dog scratched it to make it bleed, so she took a close look at the sore spot and gently squeezed it getting more blood and puss out of it. She then washed it with antiseptic wash and covered it.

Avatar n tn Hey, I have a small lump, about pea sized, on the back left of my neck. It does not hurt, unless I constantly press on it. Over the past year, I have also been having pains in my chest when I breathe, and am short of breath a lot. Also, my legs have been feeling really weak sometimes, to the point where I can't stand. I don't know if these are all related, but I am worried about the lump being some kind of tumor/cancer. Can anyone help me?
Avatar n tn A few weeks ago I found a hard mass/lump in my lower back on the left side and a smaller lump on the right side. It has been causing pain relating to lower back pain (stiffness, pain "slouching", pain straightening my back). This lump seems to feel approx. 1 - 1.5 inches on the left and a .5 inch on the right. On a side note, the past few weeks (starting a 2 weeks before noticing this back lump) I have had a sore area in my throat (not a sore throat!
Avatar n tn I've had a sort of lump on the back left side of my neck for about 2 years now. It's not very big, and it's situated in between the back of neck and the side of my neck kind of where the hairline begins. It has not grown in the two years since i've noticed it, it isn't sore to touch or painful whatsoever. As well, I can only feel it at certain angles and i really have to push into my skin to feel it, it feels hard like it could be a bone or a muscle or somthing.
1521268 tn?1291123879 My 12 year old daughter found a small lump at the back of her neck today (right side just above the hair line). I am concerned about this and would like to seek your medical overview about this matter. Thank you.
Avatar n tn I have the same problem. I have a lump in the same area. It has grown in size. I have a lot of neck pain and headaches that are persistent and never go away. I had to quit my job due to all of the pain about 2 years ago. It has pushed my head in a downward position. I myself have not been on the computer or cell phone a lot. I can't have a MRI due to the neurostimulator I had implanted for the headaches. Unfortunately, this has not helped with he headaches.
Avatar f tn I just on this website because I have suffered for years with horrible migraines and lately they have been getting worse. Then tonight I was taking a shower when I noticed a quarter sized lump on the back of my head just above my neck. To be honest, I'm a little scared. I hate doctors and I have never wanted to see one for the headaches, but have thought about it many times. Please let me know how your news turned out. Thank you!
Avatar n tn Hers is usually on the right side of the back of her neck, close to her hairline at the base of her skull. On each side of the back of your neck there is a tendon, thats where hers would appear. When our family doctor first looked at it, he said he could drain it in a minor surgery. She was 14 yrs. old then and what he said freaked her out. So we got a second opinion from another doctor who sent her to a Physical Therapist.
Avatar n tn There is a huge lump, the size of a baseball on the back of my puppy's neck. The lump has doubled in size since yesterday and am wondering what this could be. It feels like there is liquid in it and everytime we touch the area, my puppy cries. What could this be? Can a stick a needle in it and try to pop it?
Avatar m tn Hi. I noticed a small lump on the side of my neck today, under my skin. My smoking recently picked up, after getting a construction job, so the lump is really freaking me out. I know I have to go to see a doctor, but am uncomfortable going to my family doctor. Does anyone know if walk in clinics can get the job done? I'm not sure if they'll have all the equipment necessary to check.
Avatar m tn I have developed a lump on the left side of my adams apple, even with it (not above or below). The lump is solid and i can move it a little bit. My throat is not sore, doesnt hurt when i swallow, doesnt hurt if I touch around it, only if I touch the lump. Then it hurts very much. I developed this same lump about 6 months ago and the doctor dismissed it as stress/job related. It did go away a few days later. Any ideas as to what causes this or what it could be?
Avatar f tn I have a small marble size lump on the inside of the right side of my neck. It is close to my esphogus and is painiful when I swallow or stretch my neck. It was sudden onset since last week. I am 56 yrs old. I have thyroid nodules which are benign and stable. I had blood work last month which was all normal. What could cause this condition?
Avatar f tn My coworker just had a bacterial infection in a lymph node, started out as pea sized lump on back of neck and grew over next few days until it was as big as a chicken egg. She waited too long to go to a doc, so it had to be lanced. Went away with antibiotics. That's just an idea of what it COULD be, but since you posted 2 weeks ago the problem should already been resolved i hope.
Avatar n tn Is it normal to have small, hard, just slightly smaller than pea sized bumps in this area of the neck? Or is it a good chance of being cancer? I will ask my Dr this week, but I am hoping to get some peace of mind until then. Thanks.

Avatar m tn ve had this issue for about year and 1/2, I first noticed a tender sore lump in the center of my neck just above my spine, but at the base of my neck. It comes an goes, after about a week the swelling will go down an its barely noticeable and not sore at all but then other times it swells to about the size of a pea, an is very tender a sore, when moving neck a certain way, waking up in the morning etc. Are there lympnodes in the back of that area? or could it be a cyst or a muscle knot?
Avatar n tn I noticed this weekend a big lump in neck between adams apple and base of neck; the lump moves when i swallow - went to er and it said swollen cartilage - i'm not comfortable with this diagnosis. Anyone else experienced this? thanks.
Avatar f tn I also have had a stiff /sore neck and pain in lower spine for several months and an enlarged something on the back left side of my neck, close to spine, beneath hair line. More of a large mass than a lump, if that makes any sense. I went to Othropedic Dr to rule out a skeletel problem. He said that other than normal degenerative disease, neck and back look fine. A few days later, however, he called me up and is sending me for a chest Xray and CT Scan of chest.
Avatar m tn At first I just thought they were normal spots/lumps as I get acne/spots on my face and the back of my neck and lower neck area. I only seem to have noticed them this week though, specifically Tuesday as I said. Then today I noticed the discomfort when I pressed down on them and the surrounding area. Does anyone have any idea what these lumps could be? Thanks for your help.
