A. Finding lumps on the back of your baby's head can be concerning, but in many cases, they are not serious. These lumps are often swollen lymph nodes, which can enlarge due to: Infections (e.g., colds, ear infections, or scalp conditions). Teething or irritation. Insect bites or minor injuries to the scalp. When to Seek Medical Attention Consult a pediatrician if: 1. Lumps are growing rapidly. 2. They are red, painful, or warm to touch. 3. Your baby shows signs of illness like fever, irritability, or poor feeding. 4. The lumps are hard and fixed in place (not movable under the skin). 5. They persist for more than 2–3 weeks without improvement. Immediate Steps Monitor the lumps: Check if they change in size, shape, or tenderness. Avoid touching or pressing on the lumps, as this can cause irritation. Keep the scalp clean and check for signs of infections like redness or discharge. A doctor can determine if further tests or treatments are needed, such as blood work or imaging, to rule out underlying conditions.
