It started feeling like a stiff neck but, after two day, didn't go away. I looked in the mirror and saw a puffy spot on the back of my lower neck.. upper back area. It doesn't hurt to touch it but, it has gotten bigger. Now, is the size of a large fist and looks like it it growing further down my back. I cannot sleep and it hurts to move my neck or head. I went to the clinic in my town and the dr. said it looked like a sebaceous cyst. I have googled that kind of cyst but, it doesn't sound like it is what I have. Is there anything else that it could be? :eek:

Seems like you should go to the emergency room and have it cleaned out...

I know a woman who went to the emergency room last week and had a large infected cyst cleaned out. :)

This is a Sabaceous Cyst, one that takes a outpatient surgery. I'll see the dr. tomorrow.
