I am a doctor by profession, i would like to tell you up front that even though things appear small they might not be so in the long run.I would like to know wether or not;
1) how long has it been there.
2) have you lost any weight after its appearence.
3)do you feel feverish any time during the day.
although it does not seem to be a malignancy still i would suggest that you please get it examined by a surgeon at the earliest, and if possible get it extracted and send a piece for biopsy so as to rule out malignancy.If in any doubt e-mail at gaganmishra71@yahoo.com.

Hm, it could just be a bump from scratching it against something, but i'd advise you go to the doctor and get it checked out, just in case. Even if it's nothing major, i'm sure your doctor can give you some medicine to stop the pain and make it go away.

1.We all have lymph glands behind our ears. The fact that it is swollen could mean that your body is trying to fight off an infection. (cold virus?)
2. It could be a blocked sweat gland or oil gland.
3. If it is bothering you a few days from now make a doctors appointment, but it will probably be gone in a few days.

It sounds like a cyst or a mole gone awry. Best to have it checked, whatever you do, do not put your left hand in an electrical socket while you dip your right hand in a toilet and recite Froggy Went a Courtin...it could be bad!

If it is behind the ear lobe then it is just a swollen gland! Should go down in a few days, if not see a doctor!!

Your health is paramount.Go to see a doctor.Don`t leave it and do nothing.
It could be simple and straight forward (earpiece off your ipod
under the skin) or something more serious...Don`t delay ...make that call....but quickly.
Hope your worst fears do NOT materialise.
Sometimes you need to have somebody on your side !
I am. Best of luck !!!

That's a lymph node, so don't worry, maybe your body is having an inflammation somewhere that the lymph node became bigger and hurt. But you may need to ask your doctor as soon as possible.

It may be serious, but I am not a doctor. You should get it checked out by a professional. My only guess would be a boil, which means that you should wash you hands more often.

The chances are that it's an ingrown hair that's become a cyst. Go to the doctor and have him lance and remove it.

I had that and went to the doctor because it became infected. Its not anything serious, but you should have it checked out because of the pain.
