What Is The Treatment For Lump Behind Ear?

Hi...I have a fixed hard lump behind my left ear, just under the beginning if hair line. It s hard as a rock, not moveable, I have zero symptoms of infection anywhere incl. throat and ears. From what I can see in two way mirror it is not red. It is about the size of a pea. Should I watch and wait or see doctor right away? Thank you!

Hi.
This can be a lymph node or a sebaceous cyst.
IT is better to confirm by showing this to a Doctor. But this is not urgent.
The Doctor on examination can tell you whether you need some investigations and the need for Excision.
In my opinion- one should try to get out the lumps and subject them to histopathological examination.
I find this answer helpful
