Question Category : Lumps
My 4 year old daughter developed a lump on the back of her head. There is no redness or head or opening, not painful. Has been as large as a golfball and can change size daily. Her behaviour changes when the lump is large. Nothing on her blood test. Has had an X ray and a CT scan, no pressure or fluid on her brain. Is now waiting for a bone scan to rule out osteomyelitis, but we may have to wait upto 2 months. Can you give me anymore information and should we consider going private as we have family Bupa cover. Should we insist on treatment happening sooner. We first found the lump 5 weeks ago. At present the lump is there, but small. Thank you for any information you can give us Check Out the Answer
