[|Human|] Well about 18 years ago I was bite by a tick in the same spot, which I assumed was completely removed. Now just a few short years ago I noticed a large bump under the skin directly at my hairline left side of my neck bone. Over time this bump has gotten bigger and now has started to hurt. Now it seems the bump is only getting larger under my skin whereas it s not protruding out . But hurts just the same . I am very concerned about this cause it wasn t there up until a few years ago. And now with the pain it s starting to worry me ... any help or answers ideas would be great thank you Shirl
[|AI|]  Hello Dear. Most probably you are having a sebaceous cyst. Sebaceous cysts form out of your sebaceous gland. The sebaceous gland produces the oil called sebum that coats your hair and skin. These cysts can be left like that if it doe snot pose problem. But if it is growing, or causing pain as in your case it has to be surgically removed. These are non-cancerous. So need not worry. Kindly go to a surgeon and get it removed. Just a simple minor operation done under local anesthesia. Hope I have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I'll be glad to help you. All the besting warm regards Chat Doctor.
