How To Differentiate Between Bump And Cyst?
My 38 pound 6 year old daughter has a 1" long, 1/2" tall bump along her hip flexor that looks like a cyst. There is only slight pain when we rub over it with a finger; not when she stretches nor squats ans pushes up. Can we wait a week to see if it is a pulled muscle?
