Bumb Behind ear

I am new to this fourm but I have a quick question, Just today I noticed a small bumb right behind my right ear about the size of a dime and not really inflammed where you can notice it, the only way you can notice it, is if you touch it and feel it. The bumb is about a half an inch from my right ear lobe, it seems as if it is attached to the muscle. The bumb does not hurt when I leave it alone but when I touch it, it just hurts a little bit not too too bad. I am just worried that it is cancer or something. The bumb seems hard. Please help

I have a bump about half an inch behind my ear. Feels the same like its attached to something, but mines kinda soft. Also mine has no pain at all. Ive had mine for as long back as i can remember, im 17. Ive been to a doctor they sent me to a specialist and he told me its nothing hes ever seen before. But in your case its probably just a bit of calcium

I had something similar a few times, only a fair bit smaller, green pea sort of a size, they disappeared on their own and i've never heard anything since, and it was quite some time ago, i wouldn't worry yourself but i'd definately get to the doctors just for your own piece of mind.
