View allI'm really worried about this painful bump I have. A friend of mine went to a doctor who tried to squeeze a similar boil-like thing but nothing came out and it was really painful. That doctor prescribed antibiotics and told them to use cold compresses, but I think hot compresses might be more effective. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed with the doctor's approach. Can you help me figure out what this painful, swollen bump might be?

I have a large pimple-like growth below my neck, and my doctor said it's a genetic issue caused by chromosomal behavior. She mentioned laser surgery could help but said it can't be fully cured. Can you explain more about this condition and what my options are? I'm really worried about how it might progress or if there are other treatments I should consider.
