Question

There’s a small bulge above my baby’s right ear, discovered recently, and it doesn’t hurt or turn red. I would like to ask about possible causes and whether treatment is necessary.

Answer

The small bulge above your baby’s right ear may be a normal developmental phenomenon of cartilage growth, so there is no need to worry too much. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a check-up to rule out other diseases. Generally speaking, such small bulges do not cause too much impact on the child and can be observed.
