What Is The Hard Lump Behind My Right Ear On My Neck?
I have a hard lump behind my right ear on my neck. It is painless, immovable and doesn't appear to be inflamed but has been present for months. I haven't noticed any symptoms like pain, fatigue, headache, etc. The only thing I have noticed is that I have been slightly dizzy on a couple of occasions. I have many allergies and take medication for hypothyroidism. Could this be something simple like allergies or should I be more concerned?
