What Could The Lumps Around The Scalp And Ear Accompanied With Tiredness Mean?

I have a small hard lump just in front of my ear. It is situated at the top where my ear joins my scalp. The lump is gradually getting bigger and is NOT a movable lump. I have also just found 2 further small lumps on my scalp. These are towards the middle at the front. I have felt very tired recently and have also felt sick for the past 2 weeks. Other than this I haven't felt ill. Any ideas?
