What do hard lumps on forehead of an infant indicate?
Patient: Hi today I found 2 small hard lumps on my 22 month olds head. One is at the front on his hair line just right of the middle and the other one is just to the left of his crown. The one at the front is hard and the one at the back is a little softer. I m really worried as they was not there 4 weeks ago when he had his hair cut. Any advice? Doctor: Hi...by what you quote I feel that they cold be dermoids. The other possibility is that they could be lymphnodes. Unless they are bothering them, nothing to worry about it.Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly.
