    Could it possibly be a zit? Those are common behind the ear because the area typically doesn't get washed properly. Get a hot wet washcloth and hold it to the lump to try and alleviate the swelling and pain.

    Could be the result of an ingrown hair, maybe.

    Yep. Very zit like indeed. Those are the worst. They hurt a lot. I had one when I was 12 or so.

Lump behind ear [ 1 Answers ]

I've got a lump on my head. On the hairless area right behind my ear. It's about the size of a nickel, kind of hard, definitely not attatched to my skull because I can move it around, and it itches from time to time. I've had it for about a year I guess. Any guesses on what it might be?
