There are "good bumps" and there are "bad bumps"

When my mom arrived last Saturday, she noticed that Libby had a small pea-sized bump under her left eyebrow. We've been feeling it and studying it and although it doesn't seem to bother her, we thought we'd get it checked out once it appeared to be growing the past few days. The pediatrician looked at it and believes it is a lipoma. He told us that there are "good bumps" and there are "bad bumps" and that this was definitely a "good one". Apparently a lipoma is an accumulation of fat cells underneath the skin. The bad bumps (as in cancer) are usually fixed and don't move with the skin. Luckily, hers does move. He ordered an ultrasound so we can get a baseline, so we'll be scheduling that soon. He said it isn't dangerous, but that she'd probably have it for life unless removed. And basically that means it would be a cosmetic issue only. That, combined with the hemangioma (and we thought it was a blood blister that formed after scratching herself) and the curl on her forehead makes her my cutie patootie. But I'm not so sure she'll think the same on Prom night!
