Hi,
It seems that you might be having enlarged auricular lymph nodes.
Differential diagnosis might be,
1, chronic infection in your external ear,
2, chronic otitis media,
3, chronic pharyngitis,
4, some local skin condition like dermatitis etc.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care..
