What causes bump between shoulder and back in a 4 year old?
Patient: My four year old has a small bump between her shoulder and back of her neck. It has been there for maybe a year? A doctor had suggested it could be a cyst. You can hardly notice it, there is a faint blue bruise and it is painful to her when I graze it while doing her hair or helping her dress. Wondering what it is and if I should be concerned? Thank you. Doctor: Hi, may be when your doctor saw it could have been like a cyst. The very fact you are saying that it is painful and mild bruising is there, I would recommend you to get back to your doctor and show . May be its an abcess also, you never know. Only when one sees , it can be identified.Tc
