Pea sized hard fixed lump on occipital node age 11. should i be worried. comes and goes.

Pea sized node: A pea sized node that comes and goes is likely benign. Followup if the node increases in size and is persistent lasting more than a month.

Probably not.: Thw fact that it goes as well as it comes is very reassuring. Bad things usually get bigger and bigger. You don;t state a time course but it could be a small pimple which is under has hatband and is irritated and fills with pus and then bursts.

Occipital node: It is very common to feel these. Typically they are less than 1/2 a cm. They tend to drain scalp tissues as part of the lymphatics. Very rarely are they symptomatic. I have never seen one that acted up and be malignant. I seen these on a daily basis in babies. Rest assured, unless it rapidly increases in size or is very tender to touch.
