He has a very small lump on the right side of his neck on the back. Its inside his skin and if you touch it you can move it. What can this be??

probably a lymphnode..they are larger in babies for their size in comarison to adults. I would have a dr check it out. It may be casued by a slightly sore throat or ear infection. But most likely it's nothing to worry about. I can feel my daughters even when she's healthy. Hope this helps

it's a bursak syst. my 4 and a half yr old has one on the edge of her left eyebrow and 2 on her head and neck. We went to the doc and they actually had interns checking her over which she handled well but anyways. That what he said they were. And they are just like your sons. Small, under the skin and moveable. But take him to the doc's anyways because they can grow sometimes and be an eye sore or in my daughters case if the one on her eyebrow got any bigger it would have hampered her eye sight.

my son has something similar to that on the back of his head, its small and like a little ball under his skin. my HV said it was a fatty lump or a cyst, nothing to worry about but to keep an eye on it and if it got bigger to show her again.
i'd get it checked just in case but it sounds the same, its actually much smaller now

Sounds like a gland. Call the pediatrician and describe it-they may want to check it out to be sure.

we arent doctors go pick up the phone and call the childs doctor. we cant see the child and dont have medical degrees. no answer on here is any good you need to take this baby to his doctor bot come on here and ask a random group of strangers who have no medical training and cant see the child
