What Are Sore Bump Behind The Ear And A Red Patch On The Scalp Suggestive Of?
I have a small bump behind one ear that appeared rather quickly and is quite sore and seems to be giving me a dull headache. I also have a red patch in my scalp near my forehead. It is not swollen or raised but a bit itchy and tender. I don t know if the two are related either. Thanks.

Hello,
I would like to have a photo of the lesions you are having. Most probably they are an infection of hair root called folliculitis. You can use antibiotic ointment over them. If they still persist you may need oral antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
