If its the size of a golfball almost, go get it checked out immediately! Ive had a hard lump behind my right ear for over a year now. Its about the size of a golfball and its hard as bone. It doesnt hurt to touch.

I was getting headaches in my lump so we finally went to the doctor about a month ago. They did a cat scan. The doctor thought it was a tumor!! But it turns out that theres nothing I can do about it b/c its not a tumor, its just an imflamed muscle.... what ever. I dont know what to do. they said its the result of severe migranes...???

And now the back, bottom part of my skull is swollen!! Everytime I turn my head to the left it pops.

I need help. I dont know what to do

I have had a bump behind my ear for bout 2 yrs. Th docs gave me allergy meds and said maybe its a swollen lymph node that never went away. Anyway, a couple days a go I got pimpl like swollen painfull things on the front of my ear. surface area. why the coincidence? Is it related? I wish I knew....

I was just going to ask about a hard lump I have behind my ear, which I have had for almost a week now, when I just saw the possible answer from Avarick.
I was at the dentist last week and had a root filling, so I'm hoping that this lump is connected with my visit.
I will see the doc but I feel a little better. I haven't needed dental treatment for years, and the second I do I get this lump. I would never have made a connection without this site, thanks all! (but I will go to the docs just in case!)

I just found the same type of thing behind my *right* ear.... it's a little weird that everyone seems to be getting it behind their right ear. At first I thought it was a blind pimple, but they usually hurt much much more when I get them. It's about as wide as my pinkie fingernail, but it doesn't stick out that much. I hope it isn't anything bad..

I get these purple lumps behind my ear, ( in between my earlobe and my hairline) They are soft lumps, at times they do hurt and times when they just itch. Iv gone to a doctor and he prescribes cream for them...I started getting them behind my right ear 2 years ago and now get them behind both off and on....they grow to various sizes then drain on their own. This is the 3rd time in 3 yrs iv had them.

Hi all!! I found this website and post as a result of a "lump behind my ear". I was hoping to get some answers.

I first got a golfball size lumpon my ear when I was 8 years old (18 years ago). I had it operated on and most of this "cyst" was removed. A similar problem came back but near the front of the ear (swollen). I was told that it couldn't be the same cyst as they don't move.

It would come and go and I still don't really know what causes it. a lump behind my ear also daily swells up and never really goes away. I can't sleep on the one side of my head and I often get headaches and neckaches.

I have seen many specialists and had a few CT scans and there isn't really anything any one can tell me. I guess I am lucky (for now) because it doesn't seem to be a tumor or cancerous, and for that I am very thankful.

I just wish there was someone who could tell me something I could do to reduce the pain and tell me what causes this.

Thanks for letting me vent. It's been a long 18 years.
