Should I Be Concerned As I Am Having A Lump Behind My Ear?

I woke up this morning with a lump behind my right ear that is tender to the touch. I also have a red rash on my forhead along the hairline that is sensitive to touch. I have had some night sweats in the past week. Anything to be really concerned about?

Hi,

Thaks for writing to HCM.

That can be a boil or furuncle or even an infected lymph node following the rash on the forehead.

Take a course of antibiotic in consultation with your local doctor for the prescription, and it should resolve.
