How To Treat A Hard Bump Noticed At The Back Of The Ear?

hello, I had 2 cuts behind my right ear for about a month and a half... I constantly picked at them and pulled scabs off. They were very itchy alot and now I noticed I have a bump behind that ear and a hard like bony feeling bump behind the middle part of my ear? could you tell me if its infected and should I see my doctor for medication now? I left the cuts alone and they finally started to heal but still feels itchy every now and then. I also work in a hospital and picked at it in work also? (I know very dumb) Please help very nervous... Thank You!

ear region is notorious for keloid/ hypertroied scar which may need steroid and hyaluronidase local injection, and some times even excision. so visit your surgeon for examination.
