What Causes Small Lump With Pink Color And Tender To Touch On Head?
Hi... my 11 year old daughter complained of her head hurting today near the crown of her head. I felt and looked at her scalp and noticed a small lump on her scalp. It is a little pink and tender to the touch. Any thoughts on what it could be? It was bothering her a good deal tonight just when moving her head up and down.

Hello. I just read through your question.
This could the result of a small trauma, like a small bump to the head or it could be a small abscess. These sometimes happen when there is a small, sometimes unnoticeable, break in the skin and the area becomes infected. I recommend consulting with your doctor so the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
