Hi
How long have you had these? Do you have any other medical conditions? Do you take any medications?
Thx
Forgot to mention I have what feels like a lump in my throat,more uncomfortable than painfull
Thanks
Thx for the photo, but I cannot see any redness on your neck. If you have any, please use zinc oxide cream for a few days (a thin layer twice daily) and see a dermatologist if it does not improve in a week. It can also be first symptoms of shingles, but involvement of scalp and neck at the same time is not common in shingles.
Feeling a lump in throat is most probably just anxiety. It's called "globud pharingis" or "globus hystericus". If you have any difficulty in swallowing or especially if you are a heavy smoker, please see a doctor. You may need to do a barium swallow X-ray (to exclude any gullet stenosis) or see an ENT specialist (to exclude nasopharynx tumors). Don't panic! as I told you, if it is just a feeling and you don't have swallowing difficulty, you don't need to worry about that.
I hope I have answere your concerns. Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
