A member asked:
I have a lump/bump behind the earlobe and a section of my head feels a bit swollen (close to the bump), at night the pain gets worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to examine: The lump is likely to be a lymph node. You may feel the node every couple of weeks, if the lymph gland doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Hello. I am a 37 year old woman. A few days ago I found a swollen bump under my skin on my left cheek near my ear. Over the next three days it spread to behind my ear and down my neck.
