What Causes Painless Bump Behind Ear And Short Of Breath?

I have a hard, painless bump behind my less ear which has gotten smaller since I noticed it. I also have one that is more sensitive behind my left ear that I just noticed. I have also found myself to be short of breath and rather itchy all over my body, but I do not have a rash. Should I be worried?

Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have painless bump behind ear and short of breath. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like sebaceous cyst , abscess , lymphadenopathy , acne vulgaris , mastoiditis , lipoma and allergic reaction. Consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor will check consistency or tenderness . Doctor may also order blood test or order CT scan . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( amoxicillin or penicillin ) course at least for 10 days along with anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist , who may give adrenaline short along with other treatment depending upon your diagnosis . I would suggest you to keep yourself hydrate , take antihistamine like bendryl and apply warm compresses on bumps .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
