Elevation behind ear <pea size,bony,fixed,no pain or other symptoms,not on mastoid process slightly above,just felt dun knw how long it's been there
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lump behind ear: It could be a lymph node behind your ear that drains from the tissues of the ear and scalp in general. You state that it is hard, fixed, thus it could be irregular bone that you are feeling behind the ear on the temporal bone, within which the mastoid bone is located. See ENT MD for exam.
