As important as the cure is, my concern is about the cause.  Any chance you could answer the above questions?  If there's an issue, we can help to eliminate so that this doesn't happen again in the future.

are you sure it's a growth and not a parasite? Lice look like this from afar but it's hard to tell from your picture.
