I have a bump on the back of my head and I am not sure if it is a lymph node or not. Its hard and it is not able to be moved. Is it fighting off an infection or should I go see a doctor. Its in my hair beside my ear two to three inches away from my ear.
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorThanks for posting your query in Chat Doctor. Bump on the back of the ear may be an enlarged lymph node as you have said. But if it is not movable, and if it is tender to touch, it may be 1. Folliculitis - that is inflammation of the hair follicle 2.infected and enlarged sebaceous glands, i would advise you to give hot fomentation on the swelling and take painkillers like ibuprofen for pain if you have. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you
