What Is The Treatment For A Pea Sized Lump In A Baby?
My new born baby Leo who is 5 days old has a hard lump about the size of a pea in a pointy shape and it does not move i cannot move it , it is mainly made out of bone as what i think. on his right side there is no such bony lump. Should i worry is this a tumor or a sign that he is sick or is this just normal i think lumps that move are lymph nodes his lump is like if his skull is growing a pea sized shaped bone.... please give me advice as we are really worryed
Hello. i just read through your question. This is most likely a normal part of the skull. The skull experiences a tremendous amount of growth in the first 18 months of life. As long at he is not experiencing pain, you do not need to worry. You can bring this up at your next regularly scheduled doctor's visit.
