What Causes Painless Bump Under The Skin In Infants?
I just discover my son (21 months old) has a loose bump under his skin, in his neck. It moves around easily and he didn t like i touched it, but i don t think it hurt. Could this be serious? My son was a preemie of 35 weeks with a string of serious health issues, none related to skin issues, but he has asthma and we suspect Raynaud s disease (runs in the family) due to his blue hands, lips and feet when he is cold. He has a cold right now, but no fever. He gets Ventolin 2 times per day, 4 puffs in total.

if lump is in front of neck than it may b thyroglosal cyst which is congenital malformation and easily removable by surgry. soft swelling may b lipoma which are also benign. sometime a large lymph node may b present no need to worry.
soft mobile and painless swelling usually dont create problem so no need to worry
