Suggest Remedy For Lumps
my 6 year old complained of a bugbite on his head last week. i noticed today that he has a visible lump on his head. It doesnt appear to be a bite and it seems bigger than it was last week. he doesnt remember hitting it and he says it doesnt hurt. should i be overly concerned?

Hi.
Yes , you should be concerned as the cause and effect is not known.
I would advise you to consult a Doctor as he sees more of such atypical problems. IT may be a problem in a child of just 6 years.
We have to confirm this is not infected and may need a treatment accordingly.
Having a hematoma is definitely a possibility.
But ruling out other problems is very important.
