A member asked:

Hi i have a lump behind my right ear on the bone and it starts from the top behind my ear lobe to the bottom and its causing headaches amd dizziness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lump: this may be a lymph node which is usually due to infection or inflammation. It can cause pain but will not cause dizziness. get this checked by your doctor if it persists.
