Hi all, Please take a look at the attached picture and if you have had a similar lump before, or if you know what it is please tell me! I already have a doctor's appointment for next Monday but am a little worried. I noticed it about a week ago when I felt a slight discomfort behind my ear, and then the lump became bigger and redder. It is no longer sore, but I am not sure it is getting any smaller.
Sorry if you find it disgusting lol. Thanks.

QUOTE(summer_wizard @ Oct 27 2010, 06:05 PM) there's a group of lymph nodes behind our ears called postauricular lymph nodes...do you experience any pain in your right ear? Yeah I thought it could be that, but have no idea how that would look like. No pain in my right ear, nor any infection that I know off, but who knows my immune system could be fighting something?

QUOTE(Salience @ Oct 28 2010, 08:41 AM) bro it's a cyst. is it soft?  it looks 99% a cyst to me. Yeah it's really soft, feels like it's full of fluid hahaha. OK I feel much better now. Hopefully it goes away, and if it doesn't I will get a doctor to drain it or something. See how it goes. Thanks all!
