question:My 15 year old son had a small lump has had a small lump on the back of his neck for about 1 1/2 years. He is very active in sports and at his last physical his doctor examined the area and thought it was either a sebaceaous cyst or lipoma. We have recently noticed a second lump close to the first one and also one above his knee anteriorly. Can these cysts or lipomas be in multiple areas like this?
answer:Hi,From history it seems that there might be having multiple lipomas or Fibromatosis giving this problem.As they are multiple no need of removing them unless it grows big in size.If fibromatosis are there there are all chances to develop in more sites.If require consult surgeon and get examined.Ok and take care.

question:My son plays football, last week he hurt his hip during the game. It has been bothering him off and on usually after practice. He just played in another game and afterwards he said he thought he knew why his hip hurt. He now has a pretty prominent lump or knot above his left hip bone. It is hard and doesn t really hurt to touch. We have checked the area since he hurt it. Any ideas on what it could be?
answer:Hi.Thanks for your query.Football is a rash game and your son must have got an injury or fall.'The cause of such a hard lump above the hip bone is suggestive of a hematoma as this is hard , not much painful. I would advise the following in such a situation:Stop playing till the lump is resolved, this is very important. Give him anti-inflammatory medicine like Ibuprofen round the clock. Get an opinion of an Orthopedic Surgeon and ultrasonography guided aspiration and compression bandage. This helps in early recovery.
question:weird lump Embarassing... so I have had this lump in my butt crack and it doesn t ooze anything and it only hurts if I sit for a very very long time. I m a 15 year old girl if that helps, but what could this be? Is it like a weird bone or something?
answer:Hi.Thanks for your query. As per the history you have provided, this looks to be a Pilonidal cyst. The site is exactly where you have mentioned, Get examined by a Surgeon and get operated. as if this is operated in time the recurrence rate is reduced drastically . Do nothing at home to avoid any complications developing
question:Hi, My son hit fell at nursery yesterday at 11am. His head hit the floor resulting in a large lump behind his ear with a cut. Today he has just had a nose bleed, not a lot of blood, (about a tablespoon). he is not feeling sick and his head doesnt hurt. what should i do? thanks carrie
answer:Hi Carrie.Thanks for your query.The evidence of a nose bleed and the large lump behind the ear on head- injury must be investigated by MRI of the brain and the CT scan of the mastoids to rule out internal trauma or bleeding unless proved otherwise. Rush to ER, get investigations and clinical check-up done.The lump behind the ear is obviously a hematoma, you can request the doctor to aspirate it, apply a pressure bandage to have an early recovery.Keep the child under observation for any change in behavior, sensorium, ENT bleeding , vomiting, too much sleeping , not taking orally- this is very important as the children behave differently than the adults after head-injury.
question:hi, myself, my friend and her daughter have all had bruised lumps appear on our arm in the same place. My friend went to the doctor who said it was probably a fatty lump where fat escapes your lymphnodes but it seems strange we all have the same thing. My bruise is getting bigger. Its not painful but aches.
answer:HiI appreciate your concernLooking at your history it seems to be a Lipomayou need not to worry its not causes any problem except pressure symptomsit can be removed by a simple surgical procedureHope I have answered your questionGood luck
