Infection: It sounds like you are developing small lymph nodes. These often form in response to infection. It would be best to see your doctor for an evaluation of your scalp and ear to try and find the source of infection so that it can be treated.

If you find that these are prominent, persistent over the course of a month, and/or getting larger then see your doctor for an evaluation.
