Hi i have a large lump behind my ear. it started about 3-4 years ago and has just got bigger.its painless n quite soft and movable. any ideas please?

Lymph node: It sounds as if you have an enlarged lymph node, which if it is soft and movable, is probably just a sign that you had a small infection on your head. If the swelling persists for a month or more, if the lump becomes hard or fixed in place, please see your primary provider.
