Bumps Behind Ear On The Bone, Hurts, Red. Reason?
I had what I thought was a pimple behind my left ear ( bottom area). It popped a few days later and now is red. Today I noticed that I have 2 hard bumps behind the same ear but are on the bone. They hurt to the touch and do not move around. The only reason I noticed them was when I was brushing my hair. What could this be?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
These may be lymph node but as you described here that it is there bilaterally which less likely, the under laying cause of these need to be found out, some time dandruff may also cause lymph node swelling, but other possible causes requires clinical examination, have nice day.
