Question
A mother of a two-year-old girl discovered a hard lump about 4.5 centimeters in size at the back of her daughter’s head. There is no pain, and the child shows no discomfort. What could be the cause?
Answer
This condition is commonly seen in folliculitis, acne, or cysts, and may also be due to subcutaneous tissue damage. After a medical diagnosis, it may be found to be folliculitis. It is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for a check-up. After confirming it as folliculitis, it is important to keep the scalp clean and avoid spicy and cold foods.
