What Causes Pea Sized Swellings On The Back Of The Head Of A Baby?
Hi, My 1 month old daughter has little balls of a pea size on back of her head at the bottom & both sides. When I touch them they move. Suddenly I noticed it yesterday and bit worried about it. Please guide me what is that and is it a serious problem or normal for a new born? Thank you
HI, it appears to be swellong of lymph nodes over the back of head called occipital nodes which can happen due to some local infection in the hair/scalp sorounding them. No need to worry if child is fine
