Hi for the past 3/4 weeks I have noticed that when I press behind my ear, there is a hard lump.  I have had frequent shoots of pain and tingly sensation across my cheek bone(dont know if this is linked), these botChatDoctore and go. I have tried using a product that supposed to shift build up of wax, do I need to see my GP. Thanks
Hi dear, The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as cyst or a Sebaceous cyst. These sack-like lumps are made up of dead skin cells and oils produced by oil glands in the skin. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may order certain tests like audiometry, manometry and do physical examination to rule out condition like lymphadenopathy. If a cyst becomes painful, it may be infected. Treatment may include antibiotics or removal of the cyst. For now give warm compresses to affected area. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
