What Causes An Elongated Lump Behind The Ear?

I have developed an odd elongated lump behind my ear at the hairline. It itches, especially if I touch or scratch it. No flaking. Slightly reddish. No sign of any bugs. It is solid under the skin. Not sure but I think it is growing in length. Don't know if it is related, but I first noticed it after camping in the desert. Help!
