Lump on face near ear lobe, moves slightly, rash behind ear, hurts a bit when touched..is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reactive node: The lump is most likely a reactive lymph node that tends to enlarge from pea sized to bean sized when stimulated by such things as skin rashes/bug bites/viruses &the like. They usually stay enlarged while stimulated &recede when not.Takes 3-4 weeks to settle down. Your doc can confirm this.
