Lump on the back of baby's head

[valerie_09]

Hi!
I have a 6 month old baby girl. She has about 1 cm lump on the bach of her head (lower part), approx. 4 cm from her right ear. I have known this lump since she was 2.5 month old and according to my GP it is one of her glands. It has been 3.5 month and  why the lump is still there? Is this Lymph glands node or something else??

Thank you.

hi,
i have a 1 year 9 months old daughter,just like valerie's baby girl she has a lump at the same location but it is bilateral. My friend's son and daughter are having the same lump also. She consulted their family's pediatrician and she was told that its nothing to worry about. My daughter's lump is bigger now than the first time i palpated it when she was 9 months old, i am getting worried and disturbed by this. Is this harmless? why do some babies are having this kind of lump?

thanks!
