There is a lump behind the ear

The reason for a lump behind the ear may be a sebaceous cyst behind the left ear, or it may be caused by lymph node inflammation. You need to go to the hospital to check the affected area in time and take oral medication under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Sebaceous cyst: A lump grows behind the human ear, which is mostly caused by sebaceous cyst. It is a benign skin disease that often occurs on the head, back and buttocks. When the disease recurs, small holes where sebaceous glands open will appear in the skin. At this time, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time and have surgery to remove it under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Cyst behind the ear: Infection behind the human ear may cause cysts, and also cause redness, swelling and pain on the skin. At this time, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time. Patients can take oral medications to relieve pain under the guidance of a doctor, or undergo surgery to remove it.

3. Lymphadenitis: The lump behind the ear may be due to inflammation caused by a viral infection in the lymph nodes. The main symptoms are swollen and painful lymph nodes. Severe cases can cause recurrence of inflammation throughout the body and lead to fever. You need to go to the hospital in time to check the affected area and remove it through surgical incision and drainage under the guidance of a doctor.
