My son was born with a small lump on the left side of his head, which is above the temple. We were told that it would go away but he's 5 1/2 months now and it seems that the lump has gotten slightly wider. The lump is hard like the bone and does not move. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it as he feeds, sleeps, and plays well. I'm concerned though. Our pediatrician said that it should be nothing but wanted us to monitor it. What are our options in seeing if it could be something serious. Would a CT scan or x-ray be necessary at his age? What are the risk for infants? What could this lump be?
