Otitis externa or...: You're probably describing your preauricular node which can become painful if you have a local infection eg swimmer's ear or otitis externa. Or you might be describing a simple cyst that may or may not be infected. Check out https://www.Healthtap.Com/#topics/preauricular-lymph-node-enlargement for more info. Then go see your family doc for an evaluation.
