Why might someone have a bump behind their right ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Behind the ear bump: Greetings. A few thoughts of reasons for this lump would be your normal anatomy or the mastoid prominence, it could be due to a lymph node which are common to this area, a sebaceous cyst which comes from a blocked sweat gland or an infection. See your ENT doctor for confirmation. Good Luck
