When our daughter was born, she had the slightest "stork bite" on her forehead. It looked more like capillaries that were irritated, actually. She also had tear ducts that were closed but opened up with medication. Within days the stork bite disappeared, however, it was replaced by a flesh colored knot right in the middle of her forehead.
She is almost 4 years old and has been seen by 4 pediatricinas, 1 pediatric dermatologist, 2 pediatric craniofacial plastic surgeons, and had a CT and MRI.
This lump seems to come and go but never goes away completely. It is the size of a quarter and does not seem to be painful.
It is visible with the human eye yet nothing abnormal shows on standard CT or MRI.
A pediatrician in our group saw her in passing and thinks this is possibly a Pott's Puffy Tumor but the local ENT does not think so.
We have an appointment with an ENT at UVA in several weeks.
Any suggestions on what this is or what kind of specialist we should see?
