Question
A six-month-old baby has been experiencing recurring bumps on their head over the past few months. These bumps tend to disappear on their own after a period but then reappear in another location. Recently, a large bump has appeared on the back of the child’s head, and the child does not show any discomfort or pain. The parents are worried and are contemplating taking the child to a children’s hospital for examination. Some online discussions mention that this could be a sarcoma, so the parents want to inquire with the doctor about what might be causing this and whether immediate medical treatment is necessary.
Answer
For a six-month-old child who frequently develops bumps on their head, if these bumps resolve on their own, it may be related to the child’s constitution. In terms of care, it is recommended to provide the child with lighter food. Additionally, consider giving the child a moderate amount of vitamin C and choosing calamine lotion for topical application. As the child grows older, this condition may improve. If needed, some traditional Chinese medicine treatments, such as Fangfeng Tongsheng Wan, can be used for treatment.
