It could be a lymph node or a sebaceous cyst. You should probably see a doctor to see if it needs to be drained or biopsied.
it could still be glands.
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
It is difficult to comment without examination. Lump behind the ear could be an abscess, folliculitis (hair follicle infection), an infected cyst, an inflamed lymph node or a neurofibroma (localized harmless swelling in of nerve and connective tissue). Since there is a swelling in neck, it can be an abscess or an inflamed lymph node. However swollen lymphnodes behind your ears could be due to chest infection, tonsillitis or pharyngitis, dandruff, infection of ear or even metastasis from a cancer. It could also be of tubercular pathology.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. A fine needle biopsy of a CT scan can tell for sure what the lump is. Do consult your doctor regarding this. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
