What Causes Lump In Cheek Along The Jawline?
Hello, my 4 year old son had movable pea sized lump in his check along the jawline near the ear. Should I worry? It s been there a couple months. I thought it had gone away as I felt around for it recently and couldn t find it, but tonight it is definitely there. Thanks! I plan on getting it checked out, but trying not too panic.
