My son is five...a couple days ago i noticed he had a small lump near the center of his scalp. It looked like he had been itching it so i only assumed it was a bug bite of some sort. However, I just noticed another lump near the bottom left side of his scalp. He says it doesnt hurt or itch? I have terrible anxiety and am now worried about cancer or some sort of tumor. He does have a head cold and a bit of a horse voice but no other symptoms.
