Should A Doctor Be Consulted For A Painful Bump Above The Ear?
A few days ago I felt this bump above my ear about an inch long. Its about an inch above my ear. Two days ago it got tender. Yesterday morning it felt really bruised. Yesterday afternoon the pain went down to the top of my neck. Last night I found a bump where the pain went on the top of my neck. I couldn t sleep because if I moved my head it hurt. This morning it really hurt and this afternoon it feels like the bump has gotten bigger. Should I call my doctor tomorrow? ..

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Bump over head may leads to injury or what? Spontaneous bumps may be a boil or carbuncle or folliculitis etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. You may use pain killers medication with cold compress. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
