lump behind ear has many differential diagnosis .
it could be a lymph node or exiistosis of bone,
or infected and scarred area .or few more conditions .
but it needs clinical examination and if relevant u may need FNAC or biopsy based on type of swelling .
don't get convinced with online answers , it should be clinically seen and diagnosed .
without looking at lesion no doctor can say what it is
