Good afternoon, thanks for asking at HealthReplies.com. Complaints that you convey with a lump, can actually mean many things, depending on various factors, such as the shape of the lump, its size, hard softness, whether or not pain when pressed, the color and so forth. From this information, you can find out which of the following possibilities is more appropriate for your child:
Bone shift
Soft tissue growth
Pus buildup
Blood clotting
Tissue inflammation
To find that out, we recommend that you consult your child with a pediatric surgeon or bone surgeon. No need to worry about your child being dissected, because even though he specializes in surgeons, the treatment isn't always surgery. After all, you also have the right to refuse if you do not agree to the recommended treatment. What is important now is that you know first what your child is actually experiencing and the treatment options. Your pediatrician may later take an x-ray or CT scan to help him make the diagnosis.
Meanwhile, you don't need to worry too much because under these conditions, what is usually a concern is cancer, whereas cancer is generally characterized by a rapid increase in size. Even so, you still should immediately check your child. Do not sort, rub or squeeze the lump. So, hopefully answering your question.
