Pea sized lump on neck

I started feeling my neck and I noticed that it had a little lump so I left it for a while and 2 weeks later it was bigger so the gp said it's a infected cyst and she gave me antibiotics and phone back if it's not gone . I'm scared incase they stick a needle in my neck 

  • Hello Robhar24, 

    I am sorry to hear about this pea sized lump on your neck and I hope that the antibiotics are doing the trick. If it's not gone after a couple of weeks, do follow the doctor's advice and ring them back. Don't be scared about them sticking a needle in your neck - they may not even do this but discuss your fears with your doctor and mention that you get anxious about needles. You could just ask your doctor on the phone what the next steps will be if it's not gone but have faith in what your doctor suggests and I am sure they will sort this out for you so you no longer have this lump on your neck. 

    Best wishes,
