Found a lump on dd's leg!

[marne]

Noticed it when changing her nappie, its on her thy, taking her to the doctors tomorow, am i worieing about nothing?

She's not recently had any vaccinations there has she?

Is it anywhere she'd have had an injection?

Has she had a jab in that leg in the past few mths ??

Ds had a lump caused by a jab and it lasted for about 3 mths.

Wow - syncronized posting!!

No, i found the lump last week but thought maybe she had bumped her leg but its still there and feels slightly harder.

Blimey yeah, hadn't noticed.

I dont think it matters if you're worrying about nothing - the point is you are worrying and can't immediately put this down to an injury or vaccination reaction.

has she had a sore toe or anything sore from the waist down? Could it be a lymph gland?

Cant see any other sore areas, she has had a cold.

Is it red or bruised looking ? dd had something on her cheek that vaguely looked like she'd knocked it but was solid feeling under the skin and it didn't fade. Turned out to be erythema nodosum - fairly uncommon but think more often on lower legs. It was more obvious if she was hot or cold but went away of its own accord a few months later.

Doesnt look red or brused and doesnt seem to bother her, its about the size of a small marble.

take her to the doc - for your peace of mind if nothing else.
