Hello
It seems from the history that you are having lumps behind the ear lobe and in neck.
This lumps indicate enlarged lymph nodes. This is seen in case of infection or inflammation in the drainage area.
The treatment is by using antiinflammatory drugs and treatment of the infection.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
