This may represent an infected cyst and may need care by your family physician.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

The headaches may or may not be related to the "lump". See ENT doc soon to evaluate lump and relationship to headaches.

Question 3

Two weeks ago i noticed a small pea sized lump above my right ear its now the size of a almond.  its hard and painless.. worried because of the growth?

Accepted Answer

I suggest having this skin lesion checked because of its growth. There is a good possibility that it is a cyst under your skin, but it is impossible to know until it is looked at.

Question 4

I have a lump above my right ear that is causing swelling on the side of my face, behind my ear, and causing my ear itself to swell. it is painful to ?

Accepted Answer

Don't start worrying.  The majority of small bumps on your head would be benign (not cancer).  Lumps that can be tender are cysts, lymph nodes and less likely lipomas.  Still, hard to evaluate it over the net.  See your primary md who can take a good history and examen you.

Question 5

I have been hard of hearing since i was a young child & i have found a lump above my right ear & i can feel some pressure what should i do?

Accepted Answer

New lumps or masses on the head and neck, particularly when associated with conditions such as hearing loss should be evaluated by a physician who specializes in this area such as an otolaryngologist (ENT).  Please schedule your appointment!

Question 6

Terrible headaches, causing difficulty thinking, blurred vision, lump in artery above right ear when this happens. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Very concerning!  you need evaluation. Possibly migraine or depending on age (temporal arteritis).

Question 7

I have a lump directly above my right ear it's sore to touch and hard?

Accepted Answer

Could be an inflamed lymph node or a skin infection. Hard to determine without examination and getting more information.

Question 8

I have just noticed a small lump right above my ear that is painful to touch. it is definitely not a spot and isn't red or coloured at all.

Accepted Answer

Likely a reactive lymph node. Will likely dissipate in 7-10 days. If it persists, see an ENT doc for assessment.

Question 9

I had a sharp, burning pain on the right side of my head and then a lump appeared right above my ear. it is a little sore. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Evaluated. Your primary care doctor good place to start. They are likely related, and question becomes what is the cause of the swelling..  Someone needs to look at it and ask more questions. Good luck!

Question 10

Hit in temple with a 22oz hammer 3 days ago/immediate headache that wrapped around my head very painful but subsided after a few hours/soft lump an inch above my right ear painful to touch/and opening jaw hurts still 3 days later?

Accepted Answer

Appears you experienced a closed head injury causing a local hematoma above your right ear, and this should resolve over the next few weeks, but will be tender over the interval.  Do wonder if you also injured your jaw concurrently.  Might check with your dentist.
