A bright red, blood-filled (or so it appears) bump has appeared on my neck ... what is it?
Answer:
I'm going to go with a hemangioma or sometimes they are called capillary hemangioma, they are benign. Let me know if dermatologist says that too :), but kinda hard to say without a picture. They can be taken off for cosmetic reasons if you want, but they aren't dangerous if that is what it is.
That's not good. Not to say it's deadly, I mean.
But if there's blood in there, rather than pus, it's more serious.
Good to go to doctor!! If you'd had it for few months, just as it is, it would also be more serious. We are warned about similar looking blemishes which are not gone within few weeks. So it's definitely good you're going to doctor.
He may just say it'll go away by itself or with little medication.
But you do need to have it checked out.
