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 Behind both my ears about half way up my head I can feel a small lump on each side under the skin which feel as hard as bone. 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.
Avatar f tn Hi I'm 14 years old and I'm kinda worryed about a small lump behind my right ear lobe... I've already had the lump in the exact same place about 3-4 months ago.. (The lump was pea size) and my sister noticed that my neck was a bit swollen and it was hard for me to swallow food and drinks .. So I phoned my doctor and the doctor said use normal tablets (like the ones for head aches and stuff) and if it got bigger to them back . So I took the tablets and in about 2 weeks time it went..

Avatar m tn So I have what seems to be a lump behind my Uvula, located directly behind it in my posterior pharyngeal wall. It is hard as bone and symmetrical as well as being small. It is linked by what feels like ligament to a notch further down my throat. It sits at the opening of my nasopharynx if this helps anyone.

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 f tn Painless lump behind the ear could be Lump behind the ear could be folliculitis (hair follicle infection), lipoma (localized collection of fat), a cyst, an inflamed lymph node or a neurofibroma (localized harmless swelling in of nerve and connective tissue). Watch the lump. Do not touch everyday but once in 10-15 days. If the lump increases in size, becomes painful, changes color, bleeds, changes shape or consistency or more similar lumps appear then consult a doctor. Hope this helps.

795097 tn?1237217195 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.
Avatar f tn She then felt around the area and afterwards took blood tests which checked how everything was going on and when she came back she told me my blood tests were absolutely healthy and then explained to me that the bone behind your ear(mastoid bone) isnt actually part of your skull and she feels that when i have been growing up and my bones have been growing the mastoid bone may have became slightly impacted and tissue might have been pushed out the way which is why there is a small fleshy lump.
4514211 tn?1355731138 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?
Avatar n tn They ran tests and found I have a very small lump on my thyroid not to be alarmed too small for biopsy. For the past 8 months or so I have been experiencing pain in the ear when I sleep on that side. It is terribly painful to where I have to slowly get up and walk around for it to go away. I thought it was the way I sleep, but now I'm wondering if any of that has anything to do with these lumps, or am I adding it all up to worry myself more? Any advice? Thank you for your time.
2133874 tn?1335812339 I just thought it was from my glasses but Friday morning I had a big lump behind my ear. it was about 2 inches long and kind of bean shaped. At the base of it, it was softer but sore if i rubbed it and the top of it was harder but didn't hurt at all. It also was a little itchy. We had a big function at our church this weekend that we were very involved in so i couldn't get it checked out. Saturday it was maybe slightly worse and Sunday I thought the swelling was less.
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??

Avatar n tn m a 24 year old female-A couple of months ago I woke up with a painful pea to marble sized lump under the skin on my ear. It is located right where my ear connects to my head, on the bottom. Like if I were to pull my earlobe away from my head, it is in that "flap" of skin. Because it was painful and hard, I assumed it was a boil as I have had these in the past. I treated it with warm washclothes and heating pads, but the lump never softened or drained, however, the pain did go away.
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 m tn My little boy has had a bump behind his right ear from birth. It was tiny at first, and the health visitor said she was definitely not concerned, it was just a fat lump. He is now 6 years old, perfectly healthy, but I notice, and he does too, that it's still there and slightly bigger, more like a small marble now - he says he can move it around, but it starts to hurt when he does - it is on the bone behind the ear. He calls it his 'baby bump'.
Avatar n tn I found a lump behind my ear. It is hard and doesnt hurt at all. Its strange in shape and not irratated at all. its been almost a month. I am concerned especially because I am a smoker and its close to my neck.
Avatar f tn I found a kinda large lump/bump behind my left ear on top of where the ear is. It doesn't hurt when I touch it it feels like a bone but i never noticed it before...Does anyone know whet this could be?
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 For at the very least a year now i have had a decent sized bump on the back of my ear in the crevice of where the ear and head meet, more so on the bone. at first, this was painless although it did start slowing growing.
