Where behind the ear?  If you mean in the ear lobe, then I can say that may be an internal pimple (that's what I'll call it).  I frequently have small ones about the size of a BB (think BB Gun), then every few years I'll get one much larger, say three of four times the size of a pea.  When this happens it can hurt.  They have always gone away, absorbed, I guess, or broken through - what a mess.

Sorry if this doesn't help I am trying to change the subject,.  Perhaps you can provide more details on the location of the pain.
