welcome to Health care magic.
1.Painful sore lumps are seen in acute case, it could be an carbuncle / furuncle/ abscess. The sore neck and ear regions could be due ti the inflammatory reaction causing radiating pain.
2.However need to confirm with a x-ray skull - to rule out the involvement of the underlying bone. An ultrasound to see the nature of the lesion (cystic / solid), its extensions, origin.
3.A course of antibiotic could help in smaller lesions, infected cases - incision and drainage is necessary.
4.Suggest you to see your doctor and get the needful investigations and treatment done.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
