i have a lump behind my ear

I'm 16 years old and I have a lump right behind my ear on the bone i think I've had it for a while maybe a year or more I barely noticed it the other day when I was rubbing behind my ear it's hard maybe a little bit squishy I don't know what it is and it causes me extreme anxiety not knowing what it is could it be something very bad or something harmless I don't feel sick I don't have headaches I don't feel tired I feel fine it doesn't hurt when I touch it and it

I've had this strange lump behind my left ear ( and a much smaller one behind my right ear ) since as long as I can remember - someone first pointed it out to me when I was about 11 It feels rubbery and can be moved around slightly It's never hurt or anything, but I really don't know what it is Whenever I search "lump behind ear" I never receive ANY cases that are like mine ! Does anyone have an idea of what it is and if anything should be done about it ? Thank you !

I would get it checked out by doctor. But I remember years ago, I had a lump behind my ear, and it ended up being I had scratched my head and developed a sore and it had drained behind my ear which caused the lump. so check to see if he has any sores on his head.

The lumps behind ear due to earrings sounds like what I have. but mine is on one ear. Ok, I am a 33year old female, diagnosed with CIN II and HPV 16 seven years ago and diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis 5 years ago. I have 3 children 7 yrs, 5 yrs and 3 months old. about three years ago, the back of my earring pierced into the back of my ear but it did not bleed or was there any cut. After that day, anytime I touch the area, it hurts me.

i woke up this morning with a pretty big lump or nott behind my ear technically on my head,its pretty hard and painfull,i was curious if i can do anything to make the swelling go down? and if it is a swollen lymph node how long do they typically last before the pain stops or the swelling goes down?

Last week, I noticed a painful to the touch lump on the back of my ear exactly where it connects to my head. I applied a hot towel to it thinking it might be a boil. This did not help, it only made it more inflamed. I forgot about it until yesterday when I was showering washing behind the ears with soap when I felt two more lumps (that are not painful) behind the ear on the neck area. I am Hypothyroid and last year I was experiencing throbbing in the ear.

I have a bump behind my right ear. Its about the size of a tic tac. I noticed it about 6 months ago but have been putting off going to the doctors. Its hard and I havent been sick so I really dont think that its a lymph node. It hasn't gotten any bigger but it is painful now. I will randomly get a pain in the back of my head like a headache but its very localized and sharp. And if I put any sort of pressure on the bump at all then it starts to hurt. Should I be worried?

but now it has swollen up and hurts a lot on and around the lump and i am having pain in my ear canal also. the lump is a little bigger then a pea. i can't see it, since it's along the bone behind my ear, so my fiance had a look at it and says it's red and looks infected. i also have a lump on the left side of my pelvis, which is also red and sore and my fiance says its starting to go purple.

I have had a small reacurring lump behind my left ear for at least a year, but has never given me any trouble and has remained fairly small. But within the past week it has swolen to the size of a pea and has become red a sore. A few days ago, what appears to be another lump has appeared just above and slightly behind the original lump. After a hot shower last night the lump seems to deflate a bit and this morning I noticed a small amount of blood on my pillow.

For the past 3 days now I have been having a pain radiating from behind my left ear down to my left side of my neck. It is swollen and hot to the touch. I have taken some Advil for the pain, and that does not seem to be doing anything for it. I have i ced it and the pain is still there. I have discovered that there is a lump right under the ear where the jaw connects. That whole side of my face is swollen, hot and painful.

A couple of weeks ago i noticed a hard lump behind my right ear about halfway down. Ive recently started training in MMA, could this have something to do with it in terms of trauma to the head? Im used to a few bruises etc but this lump's worrying, it doesnt hurt and its hard. Any idea what it could be?

About 8 days ago she went to the doctor with strep-throat. Now today I noticed she has a lump behind her right ear, should I be concerned? I read it could just be her body fighting the infection. Should I get her to the doctor or should I just keep an eye on the lump for a few days? She is 8 years old.

Does he have a cold or an ear infection (many young children pull on their ears when they have ear infections)? It could be a swollen lymph node due to a virus or infection - but definitley a good idea to have him checked by his pediatrician just to make sure.

Yesterday I noticed a lump behind my ear. When I went to show my partner it, the lump had gone. Later it came back again and I noticed the effects it has on me when it again disappeared. It leaves me with a straining feeling in my eye, then tooth ache. Today, the lump has came and went about 7 or 8 times. The pain in the eye and the pain in the tooth the same when it goes. Any clues? I'd take myself to the Doctor... if it would stay long enough!

Hey everyone, I am hoping you can help me figure out what this lump is behind my ear is. Not literally on my ear, but when you feel behind your ear, the bony part. about an inch or 1.5 inches away from my ear there is a painless lump (circular) about the size of a blueberry. It is difficult to tell if it is hard or squishy so I can't really say. All I can say is that it has been there for about a month maybe more. Has not grown is size that ive noticed.
