Hi! thanks for writing to us and I must say that this is common and you are right in this case!

This does not need a skin stamp to certify it as a subcutaneous collection of blood or lymph or even pus! Children cannot describe their conditions properly but as you guess, this boggy thing should not be there...

Therefore, a fine needle aspiration or needle biopsy is urgent in this case to confirm the diagnosis and possibly can cure also!

Therefore a neurosurgeon or at least a surgical opinion is necessary in your daughter's case.

Also, write to us with feedback; regards,
