If it is new, any new lump anywhere on your body should be discussed with your doctor.

If it is painful or soft, it could be anything from a tumor to an ingrown hair. If you have been in a car accident and had glass cuts on your head, it is possible to have pieces of glass work it's way back to the surface of the skin even years later.

If it is hard, does not move then you press on it, and feels like part of the skull, it probably is part of the skull. The human skull is made up of several different bones which are rarely perfectly smooth. Where those bones grew together in your childhood can cause irregularities on the surface of the skull, some of which can be felt through the skin.

Answer

I have had a lump above my ear for a week. At 1st it was not painful and flesh colour, after a few days it became a little painful and reddish. I went to my GP today and found that it is an impetigo, a benign infection of the skin that is not harmful but can't usually clear on its own and can spread to other parts of the body or to others. The GP has prescribed me an antibiotic cream and he reckons the lump will be gone in 3 days. In any case , get lumps checked out as you can't really get a diagnosis unless an expert looks at it

Hope this helped a bit.

It could be as result of anÊenlarge lymph node. Lymph nodes run down both size of neck and can also be found under the chin,Êthey function as scavenger cleaning up bacteria, pus cells and other debris. ÊAn enlarged lymph is a sign ofÊinfection.Ê

Are you in the wrong?

Some would argue that there is no right and wrong.Shakespeare argues, "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."I would say I am in the wrong all the time. If I were not, it would be quite hard to learn from my mistakes.However, don't get drawn into the trap of 'you are wrong, thus I am right.' Most often in arguments, both people are partially right and partially wrong. It is good for all parties to realize and admit where they are wrong so that corrective steps can be taken to move into the right. It takes brave or smart people to overcome pride or fear and try to correct their wrongs.
