What Causes Hard Painless Lump On Head And Stomach Aches?
My 11 yr. Old son has been having a lot of stomach aches. He has a lactose intolerance and he takes lactaid as needed. The stomach aches are getting worse and he hasn t seemed like himself. Tonight I rubbed the back of his head and he has about a quarter size hard, painless lump on his occipital ridge. Is there need to investigate more into this lump?

Hi....it cold be a fibrosis due to a old injury or a lymph node enlargement. I don't think this is related to the lactose intolerance he is having. Right if it is not bothering him you need not worry. But if the lump is increasing in size rapidly and is becoming painful or there is redness in the area, you need to get it checked by a physician.
