Lump Behind Right Ear, Growing In Size, Pain On Touching. History Of PCOS. Sebaceous Cyst Formation?

I have a small lump that has formed behind my right ear. It started off as small, but overnight it has grown in size and feels fairly painful to the touch. I initially thought it was a spot and tried to squeeze it, to no avail. I m wondering if it is a sebaceous cyst . I was diagnosed with PCOS in my teenage years. I m a 24 year old. I was once diagnosed with a chalazion under my left eye, which has since minimised in size. What should I do?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having infected Sebaceous cyst or enlarge painful lymph nodes.
Go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines for 3 days.
If recurrence is there in future then get it excised with sac.
Ok and take care.
