My almost 6 yr old daughter has a lump near her hairline just to the left of her spine. It s very noticeable to the touch. Over the past few years she will get shooting pains in that exact location. We noticed this today because she said she felt pain when tilting her head to one side when she was in class. But when I touch it she feels no pain. She also has a bumpy, itchy rash on the back of her head. Not sure if this is related but thought I would mention it.
Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. History of painless lump at the hairline, most possible cause could be congenital cause, Cyst. 2. The next possible cause could be lipoma - fat content. Lastly hair follicular infection - but generally seen with pain.3. In this case I would recommend ultrasound examination of the lump - that will help to evaluate the nature of the lesion - cystic, solid, mixed. Its source and extensions. Vascularity status.4. After that if there is any involvement of spine an MRI might be necessary - as it will help to evaluate if there is any spinal involvement.5. I would recommend to o see your GP, let it get examined, and you will be sent to scan and further evaluation. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask ?
