Patient's question:
Just born with a lump on the front of the neck, horizontal, the lump is flat and elongated, with some purple in the middle, and it feels hard when touched. It's about 2 cm long and 0.7 cm wide. The baby is 18 days old. Originally thought it would gradually improve, but now it seems to have grown a bit longer. Unsure of what it is, hoping the doctor can guide on how to treat it.Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment.
Type of assistance needed: Want to know the cause.
Doctor's answer:
Is it your first child? If so, there is something to keep in mind: it may be torticollis. It may not be apparent for now, but it will gradually become more noticeable after the age of three. At first, it is usually just a lump! Currently, you need to identify the cause so that you can receive targeted treatment! Congenital torticollis requires surgery as early as possible. After the surgery, it can be completely restored. Therefore, you need to go to the orthopedics department and have the doctor take a look!Survival care: I fully understand your feelings. You are a caring parent, but please don’t hurry! Actively cooperate with the doctor. The prognosis for many babies is still very good. Wishing you health!
