My son is 14 and has bad acne on his back. I just took him to the doctor for this. It was white blood cells gathering in the lymphnodes on the back of the neck (left and right side, but can just be one and there may be several smaller bumps next to the large one too if you feel around ). They are there to work on the infected pus of the acne. The white blood cells are the clean up crew of the immune system. Accocrding to the doctor, it is completely harmless, but the large nodes will be sore and you want to monitor them for growth. He prescribed a low dose antibiotic to help with the acne. It wasn't necessary, but I wanted it because it had been prescribed by a dermatologist in the past and it helps with ance.

It may be muscle knots if you have tmj/tmd disorder. I do, and they have been there for years. I am finally getting treated by a neuromuscular dentist. You should see one!

Stress, improper sleeping and poor posture. Working out, may cause less of them.
