My 17 year old son has a round growth on the right side of his head that is a little bigger than a quarter and soft to the touch. My dermatologist does not know what it is and is referring me to an expert. She seems to think it has been there for a while, maybe since birth, because hair no longer grows there, but because of the size, I think either my son, his hair dresser or I would have noticed. Maybe it started out small and has grown and now is filling with fluid. My doctor also said something about there is the possibility of roots growing down to the spinal cord. Of course, this freaks me out a little! Any ideas about what this is or some intelligent questions I should ask the next doctor?
Thank you,
