Suggest Treatment For Bald Spot On Head And Bumps Behind Ear In Kids
I m concern with my 3 year old greatniece, yesterday we noticed that she had like a small bold spot on the lower right side of her head, almost behind the ear. My niece called me this morning and said that she had a bump behind her ear, as of now she has bumps all over her head, what does all that mean. I m very concern she s waiting for a pedia to call her back and tell her when she can bring her in.

Hi.... by what you say I feel that the child might be having a scalp seborrhea and associated lymph node enlargement of the drainage area of the skull behind the ear. This is a very simple and common problem. Please do not worry. This is not an emergency and you can wait for the pediatrician's appointment.
