Hi dear your having bumps on your both temporal region ,for last two years,along with headache ,you have not mentioned any other symptom,especially related to your ears,it could be simply a lymph node enlargement ,or bony exostosis,since your saying the swelling is fixed on.the best way to get the diagnosis is to get them removed and send for histo pathological diagnosis,after which treatment if any needed can be directed towards cause.
