Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Cause of painful lump in neck-In your case the cause of the lump, which formed overnight-mostly is the thyroid cyst? Or the Epidermis lump -which are congenital hematomas, with sebaceous cyst like oily substance from it, which got infected and is causing stretched skin lump, with oily substance in it. This advice is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to Chat Doctor and be comfortable to resolve your health issues. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.
