Suggest Treatment For Hard Knots On Head And On Ear Bone

I have had two large hard knots pop up overnight on my head and then last night two smaller ones pop up behind my ear where the bone is. These are not moveable or painful but are eraser sized to quarter size knots. Not sebaceous cysts. What can they be? I am caucasion, 43 years old, 147lbs and in good health.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some enlarged lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia most likely. It can be some soft tissue mass or some cyst like lesion. You should take a course of antibiotics. If it doe not respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
