small lump/csyt?

small lump/csyt?

I am uninsured and have a 15 year old daughter who 4 days ago noticed a slight swollen lump aprx. 2 inches behind her ear on her neck region. This lump is about the size of a lifesaver candy and does not hurt her. She recently has been having abnormal amounts of facial acne(large) Is this something that needs medical attention? I have had numerous small csyt over the years and they went away. Please help

Hi

This may be an enlarged lymph node. Are any of her acne eruptions infected? Lymph nodes may enlarge when infections from areas that they drain are infected. Is she taking any medications for the acne?

Is this bump red and tender to the touch?
