The bump

Have you had your ear pierced? If so, it could be a keloid scar. If not, it may be just as minor as a pimple.

Lump

Hi,
PLEASE see a doctor!!
A lump could mean nothing bad, such as a lypoma, which is just a lump caused by skin oils, and is not harmful.
It could also mean something more serious, expecially if it continues to grow.
For your own peace of mind, and to know what it is, see a doctor.
Best wishes,
fredg

mosquito bite? wart? pimple? swollen lymph node? tumor? ... in any case check it out. the laugh you might get from a doctor if its just a pimple is far better than the silence youl get if you were a bit too late in getting it checked and its a tumor

i have a lump behind my right ear also, it is right behind the middle part of my ear about an inch above my earlobe. i would say it is in between a half centimeter to 3/4 of a centimeter, it feels hard and doesnt hurt at all. not sure what it could be, i dont have a bump behind my left hear at all. its like right behind my ear but before the hairline too.

The lump behind your ear could be a sebaceous cyst or a lymph Node. They can take months to reduce or sometimes they stay enlarged. Fred, is right, you should go see your doctor.

do you think it is my postauricular lymph node? what would cause that lymph node to swell? could it swell from a clogged ear from was or a wisdom tooth partially coming thru on that side of my mouth?
