A young woman has issued a stark warning to “get your lumps checked” in a video showcasing an infinite cyst that grew on the side of her neck.
Holly Radford last month noticed a seemingly harmless bump on her neck grow into an infinite protrusion inside a matter of days.
After having it assessed, it was revealed the lump was a benign brachial cyst that Radford said might have been there, though much smaller, her whole life.
A TikTok video message she posted after having the cyst removed has been viewed by greater than seven million people.
“Major slay (get ur lumps checked),” her caption read.
She later revealed it hadn’t been an alarming size until per week this 12 months during which it “literally grew this big inside 2/3 days.”
“It’s a cyst that’s been there probably my whole life but only just got big this 12 months,” she said.
Branchial cysts are non cancerous and while they’re present at birth, they visibly appear at any age.
As was the case with Radford, many healthcare providers recommend having them removed with surgery.
Her video looked as if it would come as a much-needed warning to viewers, with one becoming distressed over a lump of her own.
“I literally have a bit one which comes and goes. OMG actually crying immediately,” she wrote.
Many others said that they had cysts in the same location removed.
“I went through the precise surgery to get a mass removed. It only goes up from here,” one said.
“I had one the exact same! Got it removed three years ago,” one other wrote.
Another person said they were “having the identical surgery done on Monday.”
“I even have one which’s just began to be an issue,” one other person said.
Radford showed photos of herself having made a full post-surgery recovery, with only a small scar remaining of her former bulge.
