A member asked:
Pea-sized skin-colored lump behind the left ear, been there for years, doesn't move when touched, gets tender sometimes, what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is either a reactive lymph node or a sebacious cyst (post-auricular location). The lymph node is firm but the cyst is somewhat softer. Because the lump is tender at times so it is more likely a cyst. Whatever it is, it is common and benign.
