A member asked:
I consistently get hard bumps behind my ears that disappear after a few days. does this indicate something about my lifestyle that i need to change?

Lymph nodes: The hard bumps behind the ears are likely just lymph nodes. Just eat healthy and keep an eye on them. They will come and go. If they stay around for more than a few weeks, they need to get checked. Food luck!
