hello, im 22 years old , and about two days ago i noticed a small 5p sized lump/bump in my neck, near the bottom of my ear. Since then iv got one coming on my other side, below my left ear (probably the day after) my dad said they are heat bumps cos its been really hot for about 2 weeks..
they dont hurt when i touch them, but its like when i press them i can tell im doing it obviously. but no actual pain as such.

also iv got two bumps that hurt on the back of my head.


any ideas?

Hi - they could be almost anything, from heat rashes to cysts. If you are really worried, go and see your doctor. It is better to find out if they are anything than to just worry about them.

I totally agree with Vee and am glad that you are going to see your doctor (maybe you already have since it is already "tomorrow" in most of the world.

I am not too sure what a "5p size" is. I assume that is an English coin. However, since I have never seen one, could you describe it in metric terms? Thanks.
