What Does A Lump On Head Indicate?

My daughter, who is 9, pointed out a soft spot on the top of her head about a month ago. This morning, there was a bump where the soft spot was. This lump seems to appear after laying down and then goes away after she is up and about for a bit. Do I need to take her to her pediatrician? She also complains of occasional headaches.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. This finding can be secondary to hemangioma but anything definitive can be said only after clinical evaluation. So, visit a pediatrician for complete diagnosis and treatment if needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Archana Verma
