I have a 10 year old daughter that has started complaining 5 days ago about of a lump on the back of her neck, it hurts when she looks up when we are trying to comb her hair and put it up in a ponytail. This morning she complained she had a headache & pain in her arms.
Hello, thank you for your question. The back of the head is common place for growing furuncolosis, which are infected hair focus. It can also be infected atheroma cyst. If you were my patient, I would suggest taking her to a general or pediatric surgeon for excision of the lump and histopathology. If infection is present you should give her antibiotics. Best regards
