A member asked:
Cant work out whether there is a lump behind my ear on back of skull. feels very uneven when washing hair, and does occasionally hurt. not sure if its related to ear? waves in ear frequent, along with high pitches noise?

The common explanation of a behind-ear-cyst is a sebaceous cyst or “wen”. If painful best to see general surgeon to take out in the office. Working out should be inconsequential. Ear ringing likely unrelated but warrants hearing test & ear evaluation by an Otolaryngologist. Any new-onset dizziness and/or headache would suggest a more serious problem.
