What do you recommend if i have a ball behind my ear what is it?

Size?: You mention a ball behind the ear. That is pretty big. We need to now the exact size. The area directly behind the ear is the mastoid process. Is it tender? Recommendations can only come from a diagnosis. Possibilities include cyst, lymph node, tumor, and infection. Give us more specifics as to size and pain and quality (soft or hard). Then we can more accurately advise.
