What Causes Swollen Areas On Head?
my child has several swollen area s on his head. About three to be exact. He says he do not hurt when I rub or push on them, but they are very noticeable. They are not small. The one on the back of his head is the largest. Its probably about 2 to 3 inches in diameter and sticks out about half an inch. Is this an emergency?

Hi,
These swellings are common in the scalp. The possibilities include sebaceous cyst, epidermoid cyst or lipomas. Please get needle aspiration test done.
