| Hello! I have found a hard small lump behind my left ear. I haven't noticed it earlier and I am not even sure if I had it before or not. It is firm and round shaped. It doesn't hurt me and it is not red or inflamed. I don't know if I should visit my doctor. What could it be? My mother says it is a fatty lump. I am afraid this could be a swollen lymph node and I have heard this could be the symptom of cancer. |

| Hello! I don't think you should worry so much. If this lump doesn't hurt and it doesn't change its size or become inflamed it is probably nothing. It is most probably a lymph node that swelled due to an infection of your throat, ear or a tooth. Lymph nodes can be enlarged as the result of an infection and they usually return to their normal size after few weeks, but sometimes they stayed little enlarged and never go back to normal. This is probably what happened to you. If you don't feel any other symptoms as fever, unexplained weight losing or night sweats there is no reason to worry. |

|

it's been almost a year now since my husband notice my lump behind my ear, by the bone area, in the middle. it does hurt, when im sleeping on my right side, turn around and my ear starts to hurt a lot, i have to pull my ear a way from the pain. here are is a list where im hurting because of this.
1. my right neck hurts a lot, shore.
2. when i try to clean my ear, it feels like it's closing in, because i can't hardly fit the q-tip in to clean.
3. my head, the scalp hurts, it's itching a lot, my sister look and saw red, really red scalp.
4. when i touch the lump, it hurts, it doesn't move around
5. i feel dizzy every week, feel like im going to black out.
6. headaches on my right side.
7. my back is always hurting.(shore)
I hope i get some answers real soon, see what this is, i have.  |

hey there -
i have the same thing. looked online. it might be a fungus. if you have two of four symptoms (both the lump and the itching scalp) then that means it is probably a fungus-type thing. but see a doctor for sure! i just read about that online while trying to figure out what to do. |
