Is The Painless Hard Lump On The Temple Harmless?
My two year old child developed a painless hard bump slightly above the left temple over a year ago. I have consulted two Paediatricians who have asked me not to worry but simply monitor it. I am still worried! Kindly give me some explanations why this happens and any likely dangers associated with it. Otherwise he is healthy and developing well.

Good afternoon..!!
Painless hard bump slightly above the left temple persisting for over a year in your two year old child could be a dermoid / any bony swelling / calcified lymphnode / enlarged mole.
You ned to worry only when it increses in size / there is any change in colour of swelling / appearance of new swellings etc.
So if persisting, it's better to visit pediatric surgeon for further evaluation and management.
Thank you, have a nice day..!!!
