Cause For The Bumb Behind The Ear?
Hello, I have a small bumb behind my ear and im not sure what it is, it showed up about five months ago and has made no progress to go away, it does not hurt but it is very irritating when I touch it, just woundering what your thoughts are on what it might be if anything at all. Thanks,

Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic.
I would keep a possibility of a sebaceous cyst. Clinically it presents as a soft to firm swelling which can vary in size and is mostly asymptomatic, unless it has got infected. Treatment is surgical removal of the cyst together with the cyst wall, lest it might recur again.
I would suggest that you see either a dermatologist or a surgeon, regarding the cyst removal
