I had a boil behind my ear lanced on monday. i noticed that the incision has closed but still have a small soft lump? but not painful anymore.

Infected cyst: If lesion was primary sebaceous cyst behind ear but incision into and not resection of cystic site performed, then the remaining capsule will contain a small amount of sebaceous material which will build and enlarge the lump. At that point complete resection of capsule and content required.
