What is the situation of a lump growing behind the ear

There is a lump behind the ear. Some people say it is a lymph node. There are many different situations. Most of the time, we think that there is nothing wrong with a lump behind the ear. It is not a big problem. In fact, it is best not to ignore the harm it may cause. We cannot simply determine it. So let me introduce to you the reasons why there is a lump behind the ear!

1. Lymphadenitis or sebaceous cyst, don't worry whether it is the former or the latter.

1. There is no need to rush to treat sebaceous cyst. You can go to the hospital for diagnosis and elective surgery to remove it. It is a very minor operation and you can leave after treatment. The operation fee is less than 200 yuan. You are more likely to get this, which is usually located in the lower part behind the ear, more common behind the earlobe.

2. Swollen lymph nodes may be caused by surrounding diseases, such as otitis media, scalp infection, etc. The lymph nodes themselves do not need to be treated, just the primary disease. If the primary disease is unknown, you can observe it first. This possibility is small, and it is usually located on the bone surface and under the skin in the middle behind the ear.

2. Don't pay too much attention to it and don't touch it often, otherwise it will get bigger. You can try taking some "Amoxicillin Tablets" to reduce inflammation and clear the heat in the body to see if it shrinks. If it really doesn't work, go see a doctor and see what the doctor thinks. Don't worry too much. Also, don't eat too many spicy foods that are easy to cause heatiness. Drink more water, these small hard lumps are mostly caused by getting angry.

3. This hard bag may be caused by swollen lymph nodes or folliculitis. It is best to complete the examination and treat it after diagnosis. Do not use medicine blindly to avoid delaying the disease. Drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and supplement adequate vitamins. It is not very serious. It is recommended to go to the dermatology department for treatment. At the same time, if there is periauritis or something, oral antibiotics are needed. Treating the infection is the most important thing.

Generally speaking, it will disappear on its own sometimes. Sebaceous cyst is not a big problem. You can also buy eye ointment (yes, it is eye ointment, I don't know why, two or three doctors who saw me said so, but I forgot the name) and apply it, or you can just pay attention to the cleanliness of the relevant parts. It is caused by sebaceous gland obstruction, so generally speaking, it is nothing serious and sometimes it will disappear on its own.

4. If you want to cure it completely or are worried, you can go to the hospital for a small operation to remove it. It is very convenient and only takes a few minutes.

5. Just pay attention to the cleanliness of your face, neck and the area around the ears. Generally, there is no problem and sometimes it will disappear on its own. If you are worried or have not healed for a long time, I suggest you see a doctor. The doctor will prescribe you some medicine or directly remove it. Both are very simple and can be solved in a few minutes.

In fact, we really don’t need to care so much about it. Maybe it’s not a big problem. It’s best not to touch it all the time, because this may have bad effects. Now that we have a clear understanding of the situation, we can prescribe the right medicine. We are always looking for the best method, so we hope that all patients can recover their health soon.
