A member asked:
I have a hard lump next to my right ear which is roughly pea shaped in size and i was just wondering what it was?

Sebaceous cyst or: epidermoid cyst. Most epidermoid cysts aren't painful or harmful, but you may want to have them surgically removed for cosmetic reasons. See your doctor if you have a cyst that: became painful, bleeding or fast growing.
