Specializes in Pediatrics

Lumps: The difficult thing about non-specific lumps is that it is incredibly difficult to diagnose what they are without actually examining them. Does it change in size? If you push on it does it go down? Does it hurt her? These are all things her pediatrician will look at. Only then will they be able to suggest an intervention (if necessary) and plan a treatment.
