Lump behind the ear

Hi everyone, I'm awaiting a doctors appointment

Has I woke up the other morning and had realised I had a small pea sized hard lump behind my ear it doesn't hurt and it doesn't move, I read about a cancer that can start in the bones of your ears so now I'm a tad worried

Its like on the back of my ear by the earlobe x

  • Hey just want to reassure you and anyone else who finds this post, I have one on the back of my ear I believe mastoid bone. It's immovable hard and feels big! I'm sure it had been there years but I just kept getting paranoid recently so went to the doctors then referred for an ultrasound she put it on and said 'oh my god it's tiny, the reason why you can feel it is because it's sitting on the bone but it's a tiny, perfect little lymph node. Nothing sinister so please go home and enjoy the sun' honestly I was over the moon! I said I was so worried because I couldn't move it she says but you can't normally move them... so I hope that helps anyone who finds this post! 

  • [@worrier247_]‍ Thankyou so much for this!! I have a tiny little lump about the size of a coco pop just behind my ear, not far from the crease and it's been driving me up the wall bevause it's quite firm and doesn't move. Almost feels like it's part of my skull and the fact it couldn't move worried me so much! So this has helped me alot. Thank you.
