What Is The Hard Immovable Lump Behind My Ear?
Hi I am a 20 year old Male and I just discovered a hard immovable lump behind my left ear. It hurts when pressed and doesnt hurt when unprovoked. Doesnt hinder any neck movement. Previously had a sore and dry throat but is recovering. Am afraid if it is cancerous due to my mother who had breast cancer. Please advise, thank you in advance.

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some reactive lymphnode due to some infection. You should take antibiotics accordingly. If lump doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
