What Causes Bumps On The Neck And Head?

Please, I am afraid for my life. For quite a long time I have had strange bumps all around my neck and head. The earliest I can remember is stroking my fingers back and forth against the bottom of my left ear and feeling a strange little bump. It felt almost like a perfect half-sphere just resting under my skin. Now there are two right on top of one another under my left ear, one under my right ear, and one giant one in front of my left earlobe, on my face. Some research has led me to believe that these are my lymph nodes, but I am no doctor. Some websites are saying it might be tumors from cancer. I am scared, please help.

Hi,

Multiple bumps may be enlarged lymph nodes, boils, lipomas, sebaceous cysts or dermoid cysts.

Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is. You didn't mention if it is acute or chronic, painful or not painful, movable or not movable, hard or soft.

Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your doctor, he will examine or otherwise post images, then only we can come to conclusions.
