Hard lump back of neck

Hi I recently noticed a hard lump towards the side/back of my neck after a hair appointment where they gave me a massage. I’ve gone to the GP today and he has referred me ‘to be on the safe side’, he doesn’t think the lump is related to the massage which has worried me, he has told me not to worry but I am petrified.

ive had an itchy/sore scalp which too which I originally thought was a bite as it started above my eyebrow, not sure if this is related.

Has anyone else had this? Waiting to go for tests etc but naturally so worried. 
thanks

  • Hi Rose and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about the lump you've found and for the worry this is causing.

    Waiting for tests is always a scary time but our community are here for you Rose and I'm sure it won't be long until you receive some support and advice from some of our members who have been in a similar situation.

    I also hope some of the tips and advice given in this article will help you whilst you wait, but if you feel it may help to talk things through with someone, do feel free to give our nurses a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We're thinking of you Rose and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
