painful pea sized lump on back of ear

Hi,

i discovered a painful pea sized lump on the back of my ear in the crease, it doesn't move and is quite tender when touching the lump or surrounding area, it's only visible when i pull my ear forward as it is quite small and in the crease on the back of my ear where it attaches to my head. 

have health anxiety so trying to not freak out, any advice would be good, not sure whether to call doctor or if i'm over reacting ??

thanks in advance

    Hello eby1512, 

    Welcome to our forum! If you are concerned about this lump at the back of your ear, the best thing to do is to show it to a doctor who will be in the best position to tell you what it might be. So don't worry at all about it but do pick up the phone and talk to your doctor about it when you get a chance. 

    I hope you get the reassurance you need on this very soon! 

    Best wishes,
