    No one here can diagnose your problem.
    We would be foolish to even attempt to do so.
    It could be any number of things,I'm guessing an ingrown hair,I could be wrong because I can not see it and therefore can not make a diagnosis.
    Just a guess, you need a doctor.

    Wow! I also have a lump behind my left ear its been there for years now, and it never hurts.
    I've never had it checked out, but it never really occurred to me it could be dangerous.
    :/
    Well guess your not alone!

    Hi

    Have been to doc and they seem to think its just a swollen lymph node. They don't seem that concerned but still doesn't stop me worrying. They have also carried out blood tests which all came back clear!!

    I had lumps too, only turned out to be cysts.

    You are going to have to go to your doctor for a proper diagnosis though.

    I have the same thing, a hard lump behind my right ear on my skull, I have been to the doctors twice now about it, the first time I was told it was a swollen node and if it don't clear up I should go back. I went back today and I have been booked in for blood tests for all sorts of thing including lymphoma and thyroid problems.
