Brief Answer:
Medication will resolve this.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. The area behind the ear (Post auricular) does not have any important structure, except skin, muscle and bone.

2. This is a common skin infection. Get this examined to rule out folliculitis (this is in the shaving area near the hairline).

3. Routine medication with antibiotics and local ointments will resolve this.

I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.

Regards.
