Hard lump that is red and is about 3 fingers away from my right ear on the back of my head. had it for 6 or 7 years. what could it be?

Neck mass: Se an ENT as this could be a sebaceous cyst, a lymph node or parotid gland neoplasm, among other things. It warrants an exam and possibly imaging, followed by a biopsy or removal of the mass.
