Brief Answer:
You should be investigated

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description,it could be Post auricular Dermoid cyst.
Cystic swelling in that area will be firm to hard in consistency.
Clinical examination, CT scan of the area,FNAC(Fine needle aspiration cytology) will give a clue.
If Dermoid cyst is confirmed,it can be removed surgically.
Please consult a Surgeon and proceed further.
Nothing to worry.
