Lump above ear

Tags: crease, neck

I am 3 months pregnant and just noticed a painful pea-sized lump above my right ear. It is right in the crease between where the top of my ear begins, and my temple. It hurts like a bruise when I touch it. Is this something I should be worried about? Is there a lymph node there? I know it is not a pimple because it is very deep under my skin and rolls like a marble.

I have one in front of my ear. It is a gland and I didn't know I had any there until this popped up. I don't have any answers for you, the nurse just said to watch it and come back if it got bigger. I'm curious to see what others say on here. I also have one on my neck but the dr's don't seem to think its a big deal.
