i took Gemma to see the doctor again yesterday. i forgot to mention to him at her 6-week appointment this little pea-sized lump she has behind her ear at the bottom of her scalp. it happens to be where my thumb rests when i am breastfeeding her on the left and i've noticed it for a long time now. it doesn't seem to bother her, but it sure bothered me, so off we went.
doc thinks it's an oil gland cyst and nothing to worry about. if it gets inflamed, red, infected, or it seems to bother her, then we can talk about maybe draining it, but it can stay for now. plus, it's under her hair, so it's impossible to see.
i hope it just goes away on its own...
