Iv had a soft lump behind my ear that i only noticed because it was feeling tender. it's has now turned a dark purple colour, what could it be?

Lymph node: What you described fits in to be a lymph node. Tenderness usually means infection in the area the node is draining from , ear, scalp, pharynx etc color change is worrisome. Plz see your GP to get further advice. Good luck.
