See pediatrician: It is difficult to diagnose the bump without examining it. Because it isn't painful, most likely it isn't an acute infection. It may be a cyst or a lymph node. Please make an appointment with your pediatrician to evaluate your baby. Most likely it is nothing to worry about. Be well!

Itchy scalp (esp near ear and neck), dandruff if i dont take head bath every alternate day, and small itchy bumps on scalp near ear and neck under the hair which sometimes turn into pimple and burst open. What could be the reason.
