A member asked:
My 4 yr old has a smooth moveable ball behind his ear... could it be cancerous even though it feels smooth and it moves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See dermatologist: Most likely this is a small lymph node. Can also be a small cyst. Should see dermatologist to put your mind at ease.
