What Causes A Lump On The Top Of Ear And Head?
I have a lump between the top of my ear and my head. Its solid and causes me pain. What could this be? Also, I keep getting big cysts and if they pop they leave a dark mark on my skin. What can help reduce my changes of getting them? Ive switched to waxing instead of shaving.

HI. This can be a sebaceous cyst and getting this removed is the best solution.
Regular cleaning the affected the skin area with soap and water helps to prevent the further attacks. Do not fiddle / play with such lumps , that can give rise to secondary infection .
