Feeling On Bone Sticking Out Farther On The Right Side. Any Ideas?

i have a 13 yr old daughter that feels like the bone behind her ear in the head on her right side is sticking out much farther than her left side, when you feel both sides the left is normal and the right is sticking out, cant tell for sure if its the bone or a lump on the bone, but its so hard it feels like the bone. Any ideas?

Hi,
You can reassure your daughter this is normal. No one has an entirely symmetrical body. There will be differences between the two sides.
