Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of large bump behind ear with liquid coming out which is due to post auricular lymph node infection, acute mastoiditis, Post-auricular Lymphadenitis and dermoid cyst. Need not to worry. I would suggest you not to worry about it. You should visit ENT Specialist once and get investigation done by FNAC Biopsy. You should avoid touching or pricking it with any sharp object. Start treatment after proper examination. You should take proper course of antibiotic as well. Avoid touching or pricking bumps wit sharp object. You can go for incision and drainage as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
