What Causes Nose Bleeding And Lump On Back Of Head?

My 12 year old daughter has been having nosebleeds. She also has a lump at the back of her head, just under the hairline under the skin. The lump moves when you push it. We also noticed her hands and ears were very red. We noticed she did no have much appetite for the last few days (except today) and she seems to have slimmed down dramatically. Should we have a cause for concern? We googled some of this and it s not encouraging. we plan to take her to the doctors after school tomorrow.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi....by what you say, I feel that she could be having a viral hemorrhagic fever like Dengue, as you say the hands and feet are red and that she has nose bleed.

The small lump need not be worried about, as it could be an insignificant lymphadenopathy.
