A member asked:
Found a finger tip sized lump behind ear (not in fold but more on the side of head) 3 weeks ago. was not painful but now is. very firm, bony like?

Reassurance: Its probably a cyst/lymphnode if it is on the bone probably the mastoid bone. If it is non painful you can observe it and see your doctor if there is more concern.
