View Full Version : worrying bump behind my ear
Hi, not been here much of late as ive been keeping my HA under wraps. About three weeks ago i had a shower and didnt rinse all the conditioner away from behind my ears. i noticed the next day there was a bump behind my ear, in the crease between my earlobe and my head. i thought it was a spot or something deep under the skin but it doesnt seem to have gone down much. I dont want to panic mysef as it could easily be something thats taking longer to heal. the skin isnt affected in that area. should i be freaking out? i always fear anything that could be cancerous. I need some reassurance before i have a resurgence of HA. If it was like a deep boil or something, would it be normal that it didnt hurt and would it have gone by now by dispersing by itself under the skin? i feel silly for asking, but i really need someone to make me less concerned.
Hi, if it makes you feel better you could get it checked but I've had these before and they were either harmless spots (painless) which gradually went away themselves or on one occasion a cyst which also went away. With the weather heating up it's quite usual for these things as they have a tendency to appear in places where we might sweat, and behind the ears is one of them. Not sure if this is any help.

ive had them before, but i dont remember them sticking around so long. thank you for your reassuring words. im feeling better about it already x
I often get these, not sure what they are, but they always go , sometimes can take a couple of weeks though.
Hi, I had one of these about a month ago and mentioned it to my doctor during an appointment. He said it was some sort of cyst and that they're very common in that area; that it would disappear soon. And it did! So I'm sure it's absolutely fine!
