Pea-sized Lumps, Skin Colored, Solid And Hardly Discernible To Touch Behind The Ear. Reason?
G'day sir. I'm Fabio, 36, from São Paulo [Brazil].
Well, it's yet another of your old cases of pea-sized lumps behind the ear... Can't say mine's painful. It's not movable either, but relatively solid in consistence; skin-colored, and hardly discernible but to the touch.
There's been no recent infection cases -- at least none worth recollecting --, and I experience no other concomitant symptoms [i.e. no headaches, tiredness, no nothing]. Going by my description, should there be reason for alarm?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having non specific enlarged lymph node and having no significance.
There might be having some chronic infection surrounding area, ear wax might be causing enlarge lymph node.
Nothing to worry.
Ok and take care.
