What Causes Hard Lumps On Ear And Temple Region?

I have a small hard lump between ear and temple left side. It causes some bad pain that radiates through my jaw and head. My hearing on that side also is effected. It is under the skin. Any ideas? Im a nurse so you can say pretty much anything. Junt the truth.

Hi, this is probably some neurofibroma or glomus tumor like condition not that much to worry but should be investigated properly as it could be some lymph node or sebaceous cyst also!

It could be aggravated if your try to mobilize it yourself or poke it; avoid that and maintain local hygiene.

For confirmation of the situation please go for an FNAC test and revert back to us if necessary.

wish you good health!
