How can a growing ear lump be treated?
Patient: my baby had a small lump behind her left ear from 3 month. shown it to her doc at the time and she said it nothing to worry . Only show if it increses in size. Now my kid is 15 months old. Now i have notice the lump has grown to the size of a small pea. It is moving and not paining. Should i worry ??? Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I feel that it could be a dermoid cyst. If the lump is not bothering her and is not increasing in size drastically and very fast I don't think you should worry about it. But, if it increases in size fast then you need to see a pediatric surgeon for biopsy and histopathological diagnosis.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
