Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Cause of post-auricular lump behind both ears-
The recurring lumps which you squeezed were of Sebaceous Cyst,which has cheesy white sebaceous or cheesy material which is oily.
I would advise you to consult ER Surgeon and Excise it completely under antibiotic cover.so keep cool and Consult your ER Surgeon, if need be , who would treat it accordingly.
So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.
Have a Good Day.
