A member asked:
Does a bump behind the right ear that is not too large, indicate cancer? i saw a relative of mine having it for 14 years now and the bump has remained the same size, same colour and painless. does having the same for 14 years indicate it's harmless?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, a lesion with the same size without change in that long period of time is likely not a malignant (cancerous) lesion.
