@kjpugs: is it in her hair??

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.

@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!

@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

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: http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2010/10/parents-concerned-lump-child.html

Oh my DH gets weird bumps in his ear cartilage and I get them right under my jaw line near my ear and they come and go. 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?
