Slight swelling that moves easilyunder the skin, if you touch them, they are not bumps, but lymph nodes. If their size does not exceed a pea, then they are in a normal state. A generic tumor is a hematoma that a baby receives during childbirth. If he has a large head, and rozhanitsy narrow pelvis, the occurrence of cones inevitable. The same thing happens when the baby is not located in the womb at the time of birth. Such a tumor goes away after 2–3 days or develops into a cephaloma. This formation is located in the area of the seams of the bones of the skull and has a clear outline. Atheroma is a circular subcutaneous wen, which occurs under the skin where there is hair. It appears due to a metabolic failure, in the absence or poor hygiene of the child or poor ecology. Inflammation of the lymph nodes in newborns occurs behind the ears and at the back of the head. They appear due to the work of the immune system, which is trying to adapt to the conditions of the surrounding world.
What to do if a newborn has a lump
In most cases, the bumps in children passon their own. A generic tumor and cathaloghemamon are noticed in the maternity hospital. Other species appear at home. In any case, the infant should be shown to the doctor. Even innocuous education should be monitored by a pediatrician. Signs that the lump must be urgently treated:
- it is steadily increasing;
- redness and peeling appear around the swelling;
- swelling thickens, hardens;
- an open bleeding wound occurs;
- pus appears.
Cefalohematoma usually goes away in 2–3 monthslymph nodes are reduced to six months of age, and atheroma is observed up to 3 years. If by this time the lump has not disappeared or other symptoms have appeared, fluid may be drawn out of the swelling or surgically removed. Often the bumps are not dangerous for the baby, but in any case they need to be shown to the doctor. Excessive caution does not hurt, especially the doctor may advise how to properly care for the newborn with formations and how to monitor the condition of the cones. See also:
