They're not fixed and seem small and hard under the skin! It's probably nothing but just ask at the next checkup to calm your worst fears maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freaking-out-over-bump-i-found-on-lo#post-1250831 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 23:52:52 +0000 Running Elley 1250831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found one on DS before and it ended up being no big deal! I freaked out too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freaking-out-over-bump-i-found-on-lo#post-1250828 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 23:47:36 +0000 Beehive 1250828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It should just be a lymph node, LO had (has? haven't checked in a while) them too when he was an infant. See the first bullet here: <a href="http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2010/10/parents-concerned-lump-child.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2010/10/parents-concerned-lump-child.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freaking-out-over-bump-i-found-on-lo#post-1250686 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 21:08:39 +0000 kjpugs 1250686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. Consensus seems to be that if it's movable it's a good sign. I'll call Monday and see if they want us to come<br /> In or wait 2 weeks for her 2 month appt. you all have helped calm me down and I really needed that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freaking-out-over-bump-i-found-on-lo#post-1250614 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:23:05 +0000 Pepper 1250614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: I felt the exact same thing on C before. I was told it's a lymph node, it's common to feel them on the back of a baby's head. They're the size of a small pea and roll around under the skin. I'm not a doctor though, so I'd still ask your pediatrician just be 100% sure! But I wouldn't freak out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freaking-out-over-bump-i-found-on-lo#post-1250603 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:17:45 +0000 Bookish 1250603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine has one of those! I asked my doctor about it and she said it's either a swollen lymph node or fatty deposit. She said it's nothing to worry about if it moves freely, doesn't bother her, and doesn't get bigger. Sounds like yours is similar! I freaked out too, but I don't think it's anything to be concerned about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freaking-out-over-bump-i-found-on-lo#post-1250602 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:17:27 +0000 immabeetoo 1250602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: my sister and I have had these since we were little its called a pilar cyst or something? If its the same thing it's harmless. I wouldn't worry just call pedi on Monday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freaking-out-over-bump-i-found-on-lo#post-1250601 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:16:55 +0000 kjpugs 1250601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boots: did it just go away on it's own? Any idea what causes it or what it is? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freaking-out-over-bump-i-found-on-lo#post-1250600 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:13:15 +0000 boots 1250600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter had one like that on her scalp behind her ear. Was totally normal/benign. It's pretty common from what I recall. I can't remember what they're called though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freaking-out-over-bump-i-found-on-lo#post-1250599 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:12:19 +0000 kjpugs 1250599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: yes it's in an area with hair. But it doesn't seem skin/hair related </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freaking-out-over-bump-i-found-on-lo#post-1250597 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:11:13 +0000 immabeetoo 1250597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: is it in her hair?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freaking-out-over-bump-i-found-on-lo#post-1250593 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:07:38 +0000 kjpugs 1250593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost 7 weeks. I was supporting her head and felt a little bump. It's tiny- smaller than a pea- an definitely under the skin so not a bug bite. I can kind of roll it around though- it's not fixed like a bump from a fall, etc would be. I have no idea what this could be and it is FREAKING ME OUT. it's at the base of her skull behind her ear.</p> <p>Anyone ever see anything similar? Of course it's the weekend now :( I don't think this warrants a trip to the ER but I am going to call my ped to make an appt ASAP. Oh and she's acting totally normal. </p>
