My Granddaughter Had A Small Red Bump On The Back And It Is Keep Growing. What It Is?
My grandaughter had a small red bump on the back of her head when she was a baby. She is 9 years old now and it looks like a flesh colored mole it keeps growing and is painful to her if you touch it. She is very self conscious about it. One doctor said it was a wart but I don't think so. Any suggestions?

Hi harrod,
if the swelling is red coloured which is growing and painfull may be haemangeoma, which can be treated surgically, consult pediatric surgeon for diagnosis and treatment
Take care
