What Causes Several Lumps On The Head Of A Child?
I noticed several lumps on my 4 year old son s head today. They are all over his head. 3 are on the crown of his head and 2 at the bottom right of his head. 3 are hard and 2 are softer. They don t itch or hurt. 4 of them are dime to nickel size and one on his bottom right is pea size. Can you tell me what this could be?

Hi...by what you quote I feel that they could be lymph nodes which are increasing in size. But as they are not bothering them in any way it is not an emergency.
But as they are multiple in numbers and increasing I suggest you get in touch with your pediatrician regarding this.
