    I have a lump behind my ear lobe
    I have a lump behind my ear lobe that is quite big. It is sore but I cannot squeeze anything out of it. I have tried bathing it with hot salt water but this does nothing. I think it is some sort of boil but how can I get rid of it.

    I've had those too. Several times a day hold a warm washcloth over it for 15-min periods. If it doesn't break and drain soon by itself, you'll have to allow the doctor to deal with it.

    I had one of these... let the doctor at it... I did a DIY job on mine and it lingered around for ages before clearing up.

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?
