What is a painless lump near the ear in a child?
3 months ago
My child has a lump near the side of his head close to the ear and I am very really worried about it. He does not complain about the pain, but the lump is clearly visible and seems swollen. can it be a lipoma, and should I get it checked or do any test ?

A painless, visible lump near the ear in a child can have several causes, including a lipoma (a benign fatty growth), a lymph node swelling, a sebaceous cyst, or other conditions.
While lipomas are generally harmless, it is important to have a doctor examine the lump in person to determine its exact nature and whether any tests or treatment are needed. Please consult a pediatrician or a surgeon for a proper evaluation.

A simple usg can be done to confirm the diagnosis but should be done after proper evaluation by the Surgeon.
