I have a stiff/hard lump on the back my ear near the cartlige. what could it be?

Cyst: It can be a cyst or a scar from a previous piercing if you had one there. If it is under the scalp area, it may be a lymph node that may resolve on its own. If it is not painful, i would not do anything about it.
