What Causes Thick, Pointy White Itching Growth Behind Ears?

My husband has a thick, pointy, white growth just behind his ear that itches. It has been getting larger over the last month and is not quite a quarter of an inch long. I just made an appointment with a dermatologist but it isn't for another month. What do you think it could be?

Hello,

It may be due to eczema or chondritis or folliculitis or lymph node enlargement. Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is.

Please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
