Could this be a lipoma? And is it worth having removed? Will my insurance cover this? (photos)

Asked By:arielvanscoy in Bakersfield, CA

I dreaded getting this hump that seems to run in my mother family at the base of the neck that makes the neck look as if it is non existent from the back. I developed it in my early 20’s (super self conscious as I’m only 24)and it is causing strain and pain in my neck and shoulders and discomfort when wearing a supportive bra (I’m too heavy as well). I have BCBSTX for insurance. Is this a lipoma? Should I have it removed? Will insurance cover this or what would it cost out of pocket? Thank you!
