A member asked:

Mastoiditis? hard big unmovable lump on mastoid not a puss/acne. no pain unless i touch no fever, headache no noticeable discoloration/change

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubt it: With true mastoiditis you should be sick, febrile, with swelling and discoloration. The mastoid is a projection from your skull that anchors various neck and face muscles. The site may have just added some bony mass over time.Your doc can confirm this.
