What Causes Tender Knots Behind The Head?
I have two large knots on the back of my head...behind my ear, first near top/behind ear, the next follows that down...I feel another one forming down past that one. They are tender to the touch and tend to give me headaches. I have had them for over 2 months now. I've taken one 3 day antibiotic and they went down in size but now that are enlarging again. What type of doctor should I see or type of medicine I may need to make them go away?

Hi,i can understand your problem.Tender nodule behind ear may be due to any infection.It require physical examination and evaluation like FNAC to make a proper diagnosis.You can start some broad spectrum antibiotics for few days along with painkiller like NSAIDS.
