Lump on back of the head and birthmark/face
My baby is 9 months old. One day I was feeling on the back of her neck I felt a lump on the back of her head near her ear. Could this be serious. Should I take her to see her pediatric? One more thing, my daughter has a birthmark/mole on her face, could this be cancer?

I will start with the lump. Has your baby been ill recently? It is possible that it is nothing more than a swollen lymph node.
As for the birthmark. Chances are it is not cancer. You should sunscreen on her to prevent it from turning cancerous though. And maybe consider removal. With all that said. Never fool with the health of your baby. If you ever have any questions about their health it is in their best interest to contact your pediatrician and have it checked out. So, please for your own peace of mind, make an appointment to have this lump checked out and maybe discuss the removal of the birthmark. |
