This site has helped me a lot and I've learned to slowly monitor something new instead of immediately running to the doc for me, but now this is my kid and a whole different issue. Cant sleep well I'm so worried.
A couple weeks ago we noticed a bump on my kid's shoulder. Maybe about 2.5cm in diameter. Fairly hard. Hadn't noticed it before but also hadn't been feeling around the shoulder so I don't know if that is just when it started rising above the skin or what. It looked like it had a head trying to develop like a pimple on the corner and after a few days it looked like it could be popped so we tried but only a small amount of white material came out and a little blood. Now it's got a black dot at the tip and won't pop anymore. It seems like the diameter is a little smaller, but it still feels really dense and deep.
Started worrying that maybe by coincidence a small pimple developed near it but that the main part isn't a pimple and started worrying about a sarcoma. I read lipomas can be common on the shoulder but it's definitely hard and not soft / squishy. Can't get to a doc for a week and it's driving me crazy. Keep checking it several times a day for any sign it's shrinking. Just hoping it's like some big spider bite or pimple or something but I just don't like how hard it is...
