What Causes Rashes Behind Ear And Bumps On The Tendon?
Just last weekend I went hiking, and after I knoticed that I had rashes behind my ears. I didn t think this too weird, I probably just got some poison oak on my fingers then pushed my hair behind my ears. But after looking at the irritated area on my right side I knoticed a smallish bump on my tendon. I beleive it is under the dermis for it moves with the tendon and doesn t move when I push and pull at my skin. The bump is hard as a rock and hurts when touched. The day after this discovery my ears felt like they were burning inside and out, could all three occurances be strange coincidences or do you think they are connected? I m also afraid that the bump is attached to my lymph node for I have had issues with my lymph nodes before and quite a few removed. Thank you
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of rashes behind ears, my treatment advice is – 1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like Fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
