What Cause Lump Behind The Ear With Inflammation?

I have had this lump behind my ear, right where the ear is attached to my head. It is white, rubbery and the size of a large pea.The lump does not hurt, and doesn t get hot, but my entire ear will flame up occasionally and turn very red. Is this an infection?

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some inflamed lesion or reactive lymphnode or may have lymphoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology of the lump. Then you should take treatment according to the diagnosis. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
