Question: Cyst behind my ear sore. I've the flu I think and it's inflamed and got quite sore today
I've a picture if I can send it to you
Brief Answer:
Looks like infected sebaceous cyst, needs surgical removal.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask a Doctor service.
I have seen the attached picture of the lesion.
The lesion (swelling) looks like an infected sebaceous cyst or it could be an abscess.
This needs to be looked at by a surgeon and after a FNAC, the swelling needs to be removed surgically.
Please consult your surgeon at the earliest and get yourself treated.
I hope that helps.
Wishing you good health
Best regards
