Recurring lumps on head

Hi I'm a 20 y/o female wondering about what's going on...

 

For a little over a year I've been having these lumps behind one ear flare up and then go down. I went to the GP the first time this happened, got blood tests and heard nothing more of it. I'm guessing no news is good news.

Recently they've been coming back but this time leaving this side of my head quite sensitive and a bit painful. There seems to be no correlation between it happening when I'm sick or anything, it just occurs randomly and then goes back down after a while.

I've got a dr appointment tomorrow but just wondering if anyone's had any similar experiences? Should I be more worried than I am? I'm trying not to think about it and staying away from google as I understand it's completely out of my control but just wanting to hear from others.

    I'm sorry no-one was able to get back to you before you went for your appointment but I hope it went well and your doctor was able to put your mind at ease.

    If there has been anything playing on your mind since you spoke with them you're welcome to talk things through with one of our nurses on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
