795097 tn?1237217195 I have had this lump behind my right ear for the last 2-3 weeks. It doesn't seem like it is really hard nor soft. But my worry is that...ever since I had this lump,I also have been getting a striking pain in the right side of my head. It last up to about 3 secs...just long enough to go through that side of my head. This worries me cause I have never had this problems before. Can someone help me...please?!?!?

1288586 tn?1271904161 the other day my friend noticed dried blood behind my right ear. not sure if i nicked my skin or something, i don't remember doing it. 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.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn Well about 5 years ago maybe more at the age of 9 I found a lump behind my right ear it was movable and was absolutely painless I forgot about it and didn't tell anybody because I was so young.
Avatar m tn 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 !
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn i have this lump behind my ear for about two years now and it won't go away.
Avatar m tn 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.
2058427 tn?1331933650 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!

Avatar m tn What could cause a knot/cyst behind my ear? I went to the doctor and she told my a lymthnode, but it has got bigger and more sore to touch. I have had an extreme increase in the amount of severe headaches I have been having. I do not know if that is related. I plan on making an appointment with an ear,nose, and throat doctor tomorrow. But I am becoming more concerned with the sheer size and pain it is causing.
Avatar m tn I have a semi-hard lump directly behind my ear resting on the bone right behind my ear. It feels almost like cartilage. It used to be about the size of a pimple, but it just keeps getting larger. I recently checked it and it is about an inch in length now. The lump occasionally itches and seems to just keep growing. It doesn't hurt at all and is slightly movable. Any thoughts on what this might be??? Anyone worried??
