Avatar n tn I suddenly have a lump that showed up on the my right ear just below the ear lobe, its small but very painful to touch and is very hard. It moves when you touch it and it has caused my ear a slight swelling. It's not red or anything and the ear lobe doesn't hurt when it's touch, if anyone has some kinda of info on what it could be please email me at ***@****.
Avatar m tn Several years ago I noticed a small bump behing my right ear lobe. It is on the crease behind the lobe. I could actually move it back and forth like a Ganglion cyst. So I left it alone. It has always been there. Doesn't get bigger or smaller and doesn't hurt. All of a sudden over the past couple of days it has grown 3-4 times it's size and is very sore. Is this something I should be concerned about? Can a Ganglion (if that's what it is) become swollen and sore like that?
4514211 tn?1355731138 i woke up this morning with a big lump behind my right ear its very sensitive and painful its more of a pressure type pain.i think its a swollen lymph node but im not sure.
Avatar f tn They have always been there about as long as I can remember, I assumed they were cartlidge or bone I was feeling, is this correct or could it be anything worse. They dont hurt to touch nor do they move, this isnt behind the ear lobe so know not a gland, much higher up on the head behind the ear. Im just going through a slight feeling all lumps and bumps stage I think at mo, oops. Ive never worried about them before as there is one on each side and they arent big and feel just like bone.
Avatar m tn Over the last month a have a lump behind my ear, it's been growing a lot every week. It's now about the size of my ear lobe. It's right behind the lobe where jawbone crease is. It's sore but not painful at all an it's firm but seems kinda soft on top. Basically it's not soft or hard.. Kinda medium. I have had a gullbladder infection (or so the ER told me) a few months back.
Avatar m tn Hi. I've had what appears to be a boil behind my right ear lobe. It sore, warm and slightly itchy. What worries me is right below it is sore, too...in my right side neck area. The last few days that area also feels like it is getting a hard lump under my skin, but this lump is not sore,warm like the boil behind my ear. My right side upper shoulder/neck is also sore. When I turn my head right it is sore. I'm not really sure what this all means. Do you think I should go to the doctor?
Avatar n tn After two weeks he developed a hard painful swelling behind his right ear. It was small at first but noticed it had enlarged but not painful anymore. Worried about the size of the swelling as it is that of a small marble. Also two weeks before he went for the sputum test he had an infection of a pimple like swelling on his right ear lobe. There was pus. I had cleaned it with an antiseptic lotion and had applied an antibiotic ointment. It has since healed.
Avatar f tn I have had a hard lump behind my left ear for several years. I have been too scared to find out what it is (dr.Phobia).Over the years I have tried to get the stuff inside-out. The lump has tripled in size because I am always squeezing it. There is puss in it at this point and occasionally hard white stuff. It has also moved over the years from the center of the back of my ear to the bottom corner right behind the lobe. Too scared to find out what it is....
Avatar n tn My ears have been pierced for 13 yrs and my left ear has had a small lump in it. Recently i haven't been putting earrings and the left ear got blocked at the back. I forced the earring in but now the lump hurts. It gets bigger and then returns small. What should I do?
Avatar f tn Point them out to her pediatrist at your next visit. I have a small lump behind my right ear that my doctor told me was something that made white blood cells. I've had it my whole life without any complications. Maybe its the same thing. If the lumps seem to be swelling it could be her lymph nodes swelling due to an infection of some kind.

Avatar n tn Hi everyone, I have a hard lump right behind the ear lobe. I'm wondering what it is. I think I've had it for about 3-4 years now but I'm not sure because I remember noticing it 3-4 years ago but I never payed attention to whether it went away or not but recently my parents pointed it out and it seems it's still there. Could it be some kind of cancer or dangerous at all?

Avatar n tn The isthmus is thick in the right side and thins towards the middle and the left side. Left lobe measures only 2.4x0.6x1cm in size and it contains a small 7mmx5mm cyst. My PCP had informed me that they really didn't find anything but my own review of the report has me worried. My TSH bloodwork came back in normal range. What does this mean?
Avatar n tn Hi i was told by the doctor in the hiv forum that small 0.5cm lump behind ear would be a symptom for hiv but i have since seen a post from a person who has hiv complaining of a lymph node behind his/her ear? is it even possible to not have any symptoms then get them like 7 months later?
Avatar m tn My girlfriend has recently had a lump behind her ear and another under her ear lobe. And a larger bump under her armpit. I know I tested negative but does this have anything to do with hiv? Have I passed on the virus but still tested negative at week 15?
Avatar f tn I noticed a small hard lump on skull behind ear . def not a pimple. It's the size of a pea. Last couple days it was painful to touch the underside of the bone it's on. And now the lump. I read about a mastoid ear infection but not sure.
Avatar f tn A few months back I noticed small red bumps on the back of my neck, ear lobe and behind my ear. They are not pimples. They did start to get a little better. Unfortunately, they are now getting a lot worse. They are on the back of my neck up into my hair line. They are on my ear lobe, behind my ear, a couple down my spine and as of today there are 3 on my face. If you touch them they burn. They do crust over but it takes them forever to go away. My skin feels like it is on fire.

Avatar n tn I am 49 and had a biopsy on my left parotid gland done on april 30 as I had swelling for 6 weeks on the left side of my cheek and antibiotics did not help, it came back saying it was an "intraparenchymal lymph node with lymphoid hyperplasia". It has now been about 11 weeks and the left side still feels swollen from my cheek up to my ear expecially when I eat or drink or I am in the a/c.
