A member asked:
The lump is right behind my ear, and judging from the location, maybe it's a lymph node?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lump: Is the lump at the site of the sting? If not it is probably an enlarged lymph node or an inclusion cyst. A physician would have to examine you to be sure. Lack of pain, tenderness or redness rules out inflammation or infection, but it's best to have it examined.
