What Causes Small Lump On Left Side Of Mastoid Process?
Hi there, Last week, I noticed a small, pea sized lump just underneath my mastoid process on my left side. It's not painful and it can't be moved. Also around the same time, a rash on my scalp appeared, also on my left side and I've been having some sinus issues...phlegm in throat, stuffed nose, sinus pressure. Could all of these things (the rash, the sinus issues) be related to the lump? Is it something I should be worried about? Thanks!

Hi, i do care for your concern.
your history suggest more of an abscess.
And this thing has nothing to do with your sinus infection, also infection in scalp do produce lump, which is movable.
i would advise
To start on antibiotic i.e amoxicillin along with antacids which would help you a lot. it will also help in your sinus infection.
need not panic as this would return back to normal after treatment.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
