What Causes Hard Lumps Behind Right Ear And Near Base Of Head?

Hi my 2 y/o daughter has a dime size hard lump behind her right ear and another one a few inches away at the base of her head -- what could this be? They don't seem to bother her. I have not noticed them before. They are flesh tone and she has not shown any other symptoms that I can tell.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, after a clinical assessment of the head and neck area of your daughter, I might advise her for some routine blood tests, like a complete blood count, an ESR, and if the lumps increase in size, a cytological test like an FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) if need be. Further management would depend on the reports of investigations including a clinical assesment.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
