Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son 6 months old has a small hard swelling on the right side of his head like 2 cm above the ear. I noticed it about a week ago. cant remember I felt it before. it feels hard and seems painless. he had a red rash on the back of his skull on the right side as well but far away from the swelling about 3 weeks ago. He is 6 months old 15,7 pound health normal appetite I am so worried. What that is? his physical is next week but I can t wait
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, this could be prominence lymph node and this could be normal one if does not have any clinical symptoms and this is nothing to worry, in presence of some symptoms like fever, loss of weight this could be due to infection and may need some investigation, hope this information helps take care and have a nice day.
