What Is The Lump Behind The Ear?

Hello, I just found a hard immobile pea-sized lump behind my ear where my neck and skull meet. I just found it, Im not sure how long it has been there. I understand it could be the occipital lymphnode but Im not sure what it could be. I also have not been sick, not even the sniffles, since june

Hi.
Thanks for your query .
The lymph node is the only most commonly occurring lump at this site.
Get this confirmed by FNAC.
Get a course of an antibiotic, wait and watch.
Get the scalp treated for the dandruff and such skin problems.
Nothing much to worry as such.
