I have a lump on the side of my neck, what is going on?

Many people don’t know why pimples on the neck grow, and they do not disappear for a long time. In fact, there are many reasons for pimples on the neck, some are fat particles, some are excessive oil secretion, and some are inflamed lymph nodes.

1. Acne may be a sign of excessive oil secretion. It is recommended that you pay more attention to hygiene, eat less greasy and high-fat food, eat more fruits, and speed up metabolism. Most people who get acne are boys and girls in adolescence or people with endocrine disorders.

2. If the surface of the small fleshy bumps is mainly brown or light brown, and they are slender, soft, and pedunculated growths, with the number ranging from a few to hundreds, they should be considered to be filiform warts. Filiform warts are viral infectious diseases caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), which are more common in women. Filiform warts are small, thread-like growths that occur on the superficial surface of the skin, commonly known as thread warts. This type of neck pimple is common on the eyelids, neck, chin and scalp. The rash is a single, soft, thread-like protrusion that is skin-colored or light brown, like a small nail standing upside down on the skin surface. Filiform warts generally attack middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old because their resistance is relatively poor. In addition, some people with immune deficiencies or patients who use immunosuppressants and hormones for a long time are also susceptible to infection.

3. If you find that the small pimples on your neck are painful or itchy, you need to consider whether you have folliculitis or sebaceous gland inflammation. At this time, we need to pay attention to some dietary issues. We must not eat spicy and low-fat foods, wash our necks frequently with hot water, and do not squeeze them.

4. Another phenomenon of small fleshy bumps on the neck may be the appearance of fat particles. Most of the fat particles do not require treatment, but if there are many of them and they seriously affect the patient's appearance and image, surgical treatment can be used. It is more common in young women because their skin ages quickly, metabolizes slowly, and is affected by the external environment, so they are more likely to grow fat particles.

5. Another more serious phenomenon of growing flesh lumps on the neck is that you have swollen lymph nodes. In the early stage of this disease, there will not be any obvious changes at the beginning, but in the later stage of the disease, many lymph nodes will become swollen and aggravated, and the flesh lumps will become larger and larger, seriously compressing the cervical spine and causing serious deformation of the cervical spine. This disease is more common in people who work in areas with heavy oil smoke, high radiation and high noise pollution.

From the above introduction, there are many reasons why small pimples grow on the neck. Therefore, if you find painful pimples on your neck, you need to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
