    Lump on babies head (with chicken pox!)
    My 10mth old daughter has chicken pox, 2 days ago I was feeling for spots in her hair and on her head. I noticed a lump that wasn't chicken pox but put it down to a gland. Today I felt it again and it is double the size it was :( is this something I need to worry about or is it just because she is under the weather and is a gland of sorts. Its at the back of her head on the left behind the ear.
    Thanks

    I'm no expert on children's health but, it might be a swollen Lymph node or what some call a "wax kernel". Being that she has chicken pox it could be.. BUT, it doubled in size in
    In a day I would definitely get it checked by a Doctor.
    Hope this helps:)
