When should you worry if a bump comes up behind your ear on the bone 31 year old female healthy no other symptoms?

Don't worry.: Most likely, a bump behind the ear is a slightly enlarged lymph node that is noticeable due to infection or inflammation. Alternatively, it could be a benign skin condition. If it persists longer than 1 month, then consider having it checked out by your physician.
