Question: Please please answer!!!?
I have a small fairly hard lump behind my right ear like on my head.. it is kind of pointy and i have it for over two years its not red or sore and it hasn't gotten any bigger.. i wasn't really ever worried about it until now when i realized that it could be a serious thing and i have started touching it a lot lately and one day it is about the size of a pea and the next it is smaller and then i start touching it like mad and it gets bigger again.. today i noticed that it seems to be lower than yesterday so i think it has moved a little.. if anyone has any ideas what it is or is it really serious please answer i will give 10 points..!

It sounds like a lymph node. Several years ago, I went to the doctor with a little lump near my ear...kind of in the same spot as you. It didn't hurt, but I just thought it was odd and wanted to get it checked out. My doctor said it was perfectly normal since we have lymph nodes all over our body. Sometimes extra lymph fluid collects in one (or several) and causes localized swelling. In extreme cases, this is called Lymphedema (when this happens, LARGE sections of the body swell, so you DO NOT have this).

If you are really worried about it, see a doc. But chances are, if it doesn't hurt and doesn't get very large, it's probably just a lymph node.

Well you should definitely talk to either you parents about it or a doctor it depends if it's squishy or hard I probably didn't answer your question but I hope I helped

Sorry=(
