A. yes in some cases. you have to do a few more tests and a scan after a local doctor advice for proper treatmentIn such cases you can talk to a doctor and get some blood tests done to reach to a conclusion

A. Hi mom Yes it normally goes away on its own. But if it does not go, then u can go for surgery.. It is a very small painless surgery. So no need to worry about. Also consult with your doctor for the same.
