January 2, 20206 yr Judged benign several years ago. Just noticed that it's grown in size, which is worrisome. I know that the neck is a specialty of some surgeons and many don't deal with necks. The pinned thread mentions a neck surgeon in Singapore. I'm hoping there's someone with a good reputation in CM or at least in Thailand.

I have had a couple of non-melanoma tumours removed from my face there, by a plastic surgeon (Dr Anan). Not from my neck, but very satisfied with the results. Thy will also send the excised tumour away for pathology analysis - to make sure it is nothing more sinister than lipoma. I suggest Dr Vajiraporn for an initial consultation. The skin clinic is in the new building, on the moat. Phone 053 920372 for appointments.
January 2, 20206 yr You could get this done almost anywhere; luckily, it’s not a major procedure at all. Just make sure to have a biopsy sample sent to Pathology for good measure.
January 3, 20206 yr It sounds like what I know as a sebaceious cyst. I have one on the back of my neck also. Form from old hair roots i think. Had one removed from the scalp 12yrs since. Simple ten minute procedure, cut and they pop it out like a pea. When I had my general check up last month, doctor again said yes very common just come back in after making appointment with the dermatologist...this was a Rajavej

January 4, 20206 yr Author When I 1st had it examined years ago the surgeon who had been recommended to me referred me to a surgeon with more experience with neck surgery, leading me to think that is more of a specialty, although the consensus here feels it's routine.
