Introduction
A hard lump on the back of the neck accompanied by headache may be caused by swollen lymph nodes, folliculitis, or sebaceous cysts, and treatment should be based on the specific cause. Swollen lymph nodes are usually due to reactive proliferation of lymphocytes and histiocytes within the lymph node triggered by various injuries or stimuli, which may present as a hard lump. Treatment options include medications such as Yanlixiao capsules or amoxicillin capsules.
A hard lump on the back of the neck accompanied by headache may be caused by lymph node swelling, folliculitis, or sebaceous cysts, among other reasons. Treatment should be based on the specific cause. Details are as follows:
1. Lymph Node Swelling
This is usually due to reactive proliferation of lymphocytes and histiocytes within the lymph nodes caused by various injuries or stimuli, which may manifest as a hard lump. Under medical guidance, medications such as Yanlixiao capsules or amoxicillin capsules can be used for treatment.
2. Folliculitis
If skin hygiene is inadequate or there are minor skin wounds, bacteria may invade the skin. Stimulated by inflammatory factors, papules may develop, accompanied by pain and mild itching. Treatment may include mupirocin ointment or oral cefuroxime axetil tablets, as directed by a physician.
3. Sebaceous Cyst
This primarily results from blockage of the hair follicle sebaceous gland opening, preventing secretions from being discharged properly and leading to raised areas on the skin surface. Treatment may involve topical application of erythromycin ointment or mupirocin ointment under medical supervision.
Besides the above causes, such lumps could also result from conditions like dermatofibroma, subcutaneous lipoma, or bone tumors. Avoid scratching with hands and maintain cleanliness of the affected area.
