6 days ago a bump appeared on my lower back head. It is still there. Throbbing pain and I cant touch or lay on it without sharp pains. Two days ago I left another lump on the left-hand side of my neck, although it is smaller and less painful. Could they be swollen glands? I dont have any other swollen glands and no other symptoms. I have no insurance, what can I do to make the swelling and pain disappear!!!!
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Your history suggest most possible cause could be infective etiology with collection within probably hair follicular infection.2.

Before that if you are my patient, I would have examined and ask for an ultrasound scan neck, that will assess the nature of the lesion and its source and extensions.4. The lump anteriorly without pain could be lymph nodal enlargement - seen after localized or systemic infection.5. I case of large collection a small incision and Chat Doctor. 6.
