Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Hard Lumps Under The Ears And Skull With Swollen Lymph Nodes Indicate?
Hello. I have been dealing with swollen lymph nodes for about three to four years now. Rarely are they ever tender to the touch. However, I have been noticing that under my ear and behind my head right under my skull there are hard lumps. They are not visible only if you touch them. Im scared they are cancer tumors since cancer tumors are extremely hard are irregularly shaped. Any advice as to what it could be. Recently had blood work done that came back within normal range but I know that does not necessarily mean anything. Thank you.
Hello You need not to worry until diagnosis confirmed This could be related to infection or cancer
If you can upload me your complete reports I will be able to guide you better I would advise you for an FNAC for confirmation of its diagnosis
I would like to know if the size of the lymph nodes are constant or its increasing in size progressively You should consult your doctor for examination and a course of antibiotics if need be
Thanks for your question and please feel free to to clear any doubt I will be happy to help you Best wishes
