A member asked:
Does the appearance of a lymph node or any lump behind the ear affect hair growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Whether a lump behind the ear affects hair growth depends on the location, depth and size of the lump. What exactly is causing the lump is important to know as well. You should see your regular doctor or ear, nose and throat specialist to see what the lump is.
