A member asked:
Hi, my mastodis process seems asymmetrical. one on the left is more prominent and not as smooth as a other one. it does not hurt and it has no lumps, just feel to touch like it has more bumps. also my scm muscle is tight could all this be linked?

Normal variant: This is likely a normal variant. Your mastoid processes do not have to be symmetric. Likely not related to your SCM.
