What Causes A Hard Bump At The Back Of The Head In A Child?
Hello My 6 year old son has a hard bump the size of a dime on the back of neck. I know its not a vertebrae because I can move it around. I took him to a doctor and he said it was just the vertebrae. It was never there until 2 weeks ago. He has had yellowish to clear stools. Just liquid for the last few days. Any help would be great. Thanks

Hello,
It could be a hematoma and is common in infants. Generally, it will settle by itself without any definite treatment. If the swelling persists better to consult a pediatrician and get evaluated.
