ENT Specialist 's  Response
Painful lumps behind the ear or below the temporal region can be caused by scalp infections including dandruff and also by infection of the mastoid bone. So it is better you meet an ENT specialist and he will guide you in a better way. You may also need to meet a skin specialist if you have scalp infections.
