Lump Near Ear, Tender. Family History Of Cancer. Have Movable Lumps In Neck, Painful To Touch

Im 20 years old, 230lbs and about 5'7". I have a lump right in front of the tragus of my left ear it hasnt always been there and its slightly tender sometimes. I got that ear cleaned by an ENT about 3 weeks ago, but it wasnt there then. Only my grandparents have had cancer both of my grand mothers are breast cancer survivors and my grandfather died from prostate cancer. I dont know if this is going to help but I also have moderate anxiety. I also have pea sized lumps in my neck that are freely moveable and just recently have began to be slightly painful to touch. I was prescribed an antibiotic which ive taken for 3 weeks and they are still there, My mother has a problem with cyst formations and Im wondering if this can be the problem. Ive had "moving bumps" in my neck for years now but Ive never paid them any attention. What do you suggest I do?
