Yesterday I noticed a small blister thing behind my ear, its like on the skin fold that attachs the ear to the rest of the body but more on the ear side. It has started to grow.. it started as a small lump and now its about an inch long and the thickness of the nail on my pinky. It just looks like a pale blister. Its only painful to touch. Any ideas of what it is??

I have the same thing. There are a few scary possibilities but they are way down on the list. I'm not a doctor. I ljust ooked it up. This is most likely to be a swollen limp gland. Yep, we have one behind the ear. There are a lot of reasons for the swelling, like a sinus infection or even allergies. It should go away all by itself. If it doesn't in a week or two what I read says have it checked out.
