Want Your Suggestion For Strange Large Bumps Behind Ears
My older brother developed these strange hard bumps behind his ears about 6 months ago that wont go away. We attempted to pop/drain them after soaking them in warm water and nothing seems to work. They feel like they have a little rock in it. At first I thought maybe they were just plugged pores but nithing we do seems to get rid of them. Any Suggestions on what they may be or how to get rid of them?

He has gone to a docotor that reffered him to a dermatologist. They said he needed to see his famliy docotor that they couldnt do anything for him. We were just being led around in a circle. I checked out the Dermoid cyst and what he has looks nothing like it. His looks almost like a varyation in pimples and massivley clogged pours but the docotr tried to drain on and said she couldnt get anything out. As far as tests went she didn't offer so I will let him know and maybe get a different doctor to look at them. Third times a charm i hope.
Thank you for the help on this matter. If anyone has any other ideas they can toss out there, it would help a lot! Thanks!

Hi, i think your brother has ALHE- angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia. You can check some images on google and see if they match with your brother's condition. You can revert back to me after doing this exercise.
