What Is The Reason For Bumps Spreading From Ear To Hairline?
hi I have a six year old healthy son. A month or so ago I noticed he had two or three small, clear pimply bumps behind one ear. It has remained the same since then. Tonight I noticed that he has several more behind his ear and along his hairline. He also has a few going down the back of his neck. They are not itchy.

Hi, thanks for your query at HCM...
From the description of yours the most likely diagnosis would be enlarged lymphnodes. Had your son had cough cold or ear discharge in the recent past? Lymphnodes are the primary defense of the body. so any infection in around mouth and ears will make them enlarge. But for the correct diagnosis and treatment it will be necessary to seen by a pediatrician. Hope this answers your concern
