Felt a hard knot in one's heart on the neck, what is it after all? 3 reasons, you must worry about the last

Some people will find that their neck inexplicably appeared a hard pimple. Some people don't really care at first, because it's usually painless.

But some people are worried about whether there is any tumor in the neck. In fact, the best way is to go to the hospital to do a color Doppler ultrasound to confirm. Before going to the hospital, you can refer to the following situation and simply judge what the hard pimple is.

1. Acne

If you are a teenager, a hard pimple on your neck may be acne. The skin of the patient's neck is red, swollen and congested, and there can be pus and blood in it. If the cyst is squeezed, bloody pus or scars may flow out.

Acne is generally due to gland metabolism disorders, sebum secretion caused by excessive skin pores blocked, resulting in the proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes in the skin, resulting in skin inflammation. Irregular life, often eat spicy, greasy food, will lead to acne on the neck.

Therefore, it is suggested that we ensure a healthy lifestyle and diet, and eat less high sugar food and dairy products, such as bread, fried food, whole milk, etc. Clean neck skin frequently, take a bath with mild detergent and warm water. Keep the body and mind happy, don't care too much about the lumps on the neck, can cooperate with psychological counseling and mental health education.

2. Herpes zoster

There are irregular red papules on the neck, often accompanied by blisters and obvious pain. Some people even feel fatigue, fever, headache and so on. If ignored, the blister will gradually grow, if serious, it will become a blood bubble or even pustule. If the patient is over 50 years old, it is likely to be herpes zoster.

There are two main reasons for herpes zoster infection: it may be transmitted by other patients, or it may be caused by virus infection. When human immunity or physical function decline, such as cold, fever, fatigue, stay up late, herpes zoster virus may attach to the human body for growth and reproduction.

Want to cure herpes zoster, need to cooperate with drugs, food therapy. Eat light, easy to digest food, such as milk, bean products, eggs, fish, and lettuce, balsam pear, celery and other fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat less fat food, such as candy, cakes, mutton, fried food, etc.

3. Lymph nodes

If you touch it carefully with your hand, you can find that the diameter of the pimple is not more than 1cm, which can be compared with the nail cover of the thumb, and there is no obvious pain in the body, and the lymph nodes that belong to the normal range do not need to be nervous or dealt with.

On the contrary, if the diameter of the hard pimple is large, and there is a feeling of swelling and pain, it means that you have a problem and need timely medical treatment. If there is already strong inflammation and abscess formed at the pimple, it needs to be cut and drained by surgeons.

Why do lymph nodes swell?

This is because lymph nodes are our body's "defense soldiers". Common lymph nodes near the digestive tract, respiratory tract and urinary tract will be activated and enlarged due to virus invasion, such as upper respiratory tract infection and thyroid disease. If long-term low fever or periodic fever, it may be malignant lymphoma.

If it is suspected that lymph node enlargement, please actively seek medical advice, combined with pathological section, microscopic examination, X-ray, B-ultrasound and CT examination for disease analysis. After the etiology is determined, it can be treated by oral anti-inflammatory drugs or antiviral drugs. Under normal circumstances, after about 10-14 days of anti infective treatment, lymph nodes will be eliminated, swelling will subside.

There may be many different reasons for the bulge on the neck, so we should not ignore it. First of all, we should confirm what it is, and only when we know it, we can better carry out the next treatment. I would also like to remind you that we should insist on developing good living habits and improving our own immunity, so as to protect our lymph nodes and neck, so as to be healthy.
