What Causes Lumps On The Neck Of A Child?

I have a 2 month old that has developed flesh colored raised bumps just outside of neckline, they are not puss filled and they have no border to them. The literally look like her skin is raised. What could this be? It almost looks like welts in some places. I only use dreft for her clothes. This has developed over the past 2 weeks, no change in diet, she is on Soy formula.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...by what you quote I feel that it could be a cervical adenopathy and it is unusual for cervical adenopathy to be coming at this young age. I suggest you take her to her pediatrician for further evaluation.
