Is the lump moveable? Meaning, if you press on it, will it kind of slide around under the skin? If so, it is likely a lipoma, which is a clump of fat that is completely harmless. They are quite common on the back, and do not need to be removed unless it is painful.
However, in a young child, a lump like that may be something else, such as a clump of blood vessels called a hemangioma. These almost always go away on their own before the child is 5 years old, and removing them can be dangerous due to the risk of bleeding. Trust your pediatrician, but ask him or her what he/she thinks the lump is. |
