I found a lump behind my left ear. It s above my jaw bone but in front of the muscle of the neck. So it s on the soft pocket of that area behind the ear. It doesn t move when I swollen and it s not painful at all. It s been there for about almost a month. Wondering what it could be

there is nothing to worry much about this as this is a simple sebaceous cyst or dermoid cyst.
an FNAC test can confirm the diagnosis and take caution not to infect the swelling
then consult an ENT/general surgeon for physical examination.
all the best!
