Question 1

i have a lump on the left side of my head above my ear?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: How long have you noticed the "lump"? Has it grown? It is painful? Is it bony hard and not painful? Could it be just a normal bone excrescence or even just a normal variation on the mastoid bone? It is not painful, not growing and not bleeding, you may leave it alone. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 2

small lump under skin above ear, how can i get rid of it fast?

See a dermatologist: It is difficult to make a proper diagnosis since I am not there to see the condition. I recommend seeing a dermatologist so that they can make a proper diagnosis and give you something to get rid of the condition or relieve symptoms.

Question 3

Question 7

Accepted Answer

See Dr.: You need to be evaluated and treated.  Could be several things, most easily treatable.  If it will be a while before you can see the Dr., make certain you do not have head lice by combing with a fine tooth comb and looking for critters.  If none, try some antidandruff shampoo while waiting to see Dr.
