I found a lump on the back of my daughters neck. it doesnt appear to hurt her. should i be concerned?

No: Such lumps are invariably benign and mostly consist of enlarged lymph nodes due to recent infection or inflammation of scalp or surrounding skin/head and neck region.Make sure to mention this to your child's pediatrician at her next appointment for this to be checked. In the meantime, keep an eye on the lump mainly to make sure it is not growing consistently.
