13w old has lumps on her back

I spotted them a few days ago and booked her in the doctors. She has developed a small cluster of lumps on her back only a few mm wide. They’re not painful or red, she’s very happy in herself. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar in their LO?

Personally I would take her straight to A&E.

Can I ask why?🙈 There’s nothing to suggest it is an emergency. Have you seen it before??x

It's difficult to see form the photo. Could they be bites? Do you have pets?

I’ve noticed something similar on my 4 year old leg? Not sure what it is but have made an appt with the dr. Let me know how you get on x

It come out of nowhere! I’m hoping it’s nothing serious, I’ve seen online could be swollen lymph nodes from her vaccinations. Trying not to panic before Thursday!

I don’t think they’re bites as they’re not red, oozing and they don’t have bite entry marks. Very weird!x

Could be from the heat we’ve had.

Funny enough my little one gets unmissable raised nodes on his neck when he’s poorly, hopefully the gp can put your mind at rest when you see them. I actually requested to be seen by paeds when we first noticed the nodes on his neck a few years back and they weren’t concerned x

Bites don't have to be any of those things. Clusters of flea bites can look very much like that before they are scratched.

Go to a pharmacist and ask what they think.

Pharmacist in an excellent shout. They’ll assess if there are any red flag symptoms you might have missed and offer advice on any remedies you can try at home.

Why?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 30/06/2025 11:03

I wouldn't worry OP no if she's alright in herself but good to get it checked out. I can't see from the photos as they're blurry.

Sorry! they’re not blurry on my phone maybe it’s just an issue with the post 🙈 they almost look like nettle stings but without the redness and itchiness, and hard under the skin. Seems no one else is concerned either so I’ll try to relax now 😂🤦🏼‍♀️x

I'd put some hydrocortisone cream on them and give some oral antihistamines and see if that helps.
