Success after IF

pea sized lump?

My mom pointed it out last Friday.  Eli has about a pea sized lump that seems to move around under the skin on his skull just behind his left ear.  I called the ped. and they said not to worry if he is asymptomatic and just to ask when I go in for our 4 month appt on Valentines Day.  Of course I am worrying....does anyone's child have something like this or is this something totally weird?

Re: pea sized lump?

  • Pretty common. Eliza has one too in the same spot. They check it at most appts just to make sure it is still soft, movable and small.

  • Charlie does- I asked the doctor and she will see him and look at it at the next appointment. Wasn't anything to be concerned about though. She thought it will be a swollen gland.

  • Reed has one on his neck.  He has had it since infancy and as long as it doesn't get to be bigger than 1cm diameter, it is normal according to our pedi.  Reed's a lymph node apparently.  He used to have them all over the back of his head.  All of them are gone down now except the one on his neck.

  • whew so glad others are seeing the same things!  I THOUGHT it could be a gland but its more on his skull than his neck.....so i checked online the locations of lymph nodes and it does seem there is one around there...but wasn't really sure how deep it was and if it was palpable

  • DD doesn't, but I have a couple of them actually. My dad is a doctor and has felt them and declared them normal. I actually went in for a surgical consult because a swollen lymph node showed up when I had a thyroid scan done. He told me that it was normal and not to worry unless it changes in size, shape, etc.

    So I'm sure it's normal on him as well :)

  • Okay...Reed's is a lymph node NOT "Reed's a lymph node!!!"
  • Ethan has that.  I was told it is a pronounced lymph node.  They check it every appointment.

  • I have these behind my ears.  Sometimes they come and go - get bigger and smaller.  I've had them since I was a child.  They are supposedly just cysts and have never caused any problems.

  • Jax had one also, I noticed it at a few weeks and freaked out a bit before I realized it was a lymph node. 

    I have one also that has never gone away in the same spot!

    ditto..our pedi said it was a swollen lymph node ...we notice it more when she is sick ..that is when it gets swollen from working hard at fighting the illness...we just get it checked at every appointment because I am a worrier too!

  • Yep, my son has one too.  It comes and goes and is more obvious when he is getting teeth or sick.

    It's probably a lymph node.
