What could a small lump be on the back of the neck and ear?

Answer:

Answer

A lymph node.

Sometimes (thou rarely) a lump behind the lower part of the ear can be a cyst or a tumor of the parotid gland. Again this is rare and shows up mostly in men above the age of 50, but I had one and I was 28. I would get it checked out by an Ear nose and throat doctor for peace of mind.

Answer

It could be a bone spur.
