Lumps behind right ear
We noticed movable smal lumps behind right ear for my 9 months old female baby .
When she was 4 months old, we noticed this lump and consulted with our pediatrician and Dr. told it is nothing and it will disappear after that we totally forgot about this.
Today we noticed and it is comparatively big now and it is growing.
Please advise, what it is...

You concern and anxiety on growing lumps is understandable. Most commonly, these are in response to minor skin infection of nearby skin. At times they small collections of fat beneath the skin and might not need any treatment. However, if they are painful or growing, they need to be investigated. Please consult a paediatrician in person.

No need to worry it will disappear as the child grows. It's a lymphnode. It's commonly seen in kids.
