bump
i have this small bump behind my ear. it's under the skin & some what hard. i've had it for years now. it's pretty small, doesn't hurt at all. i wouldn't even notice it was there until i felt it awhile ago. it's on my head directly behind my ear. it's not red or irritated. when i touch it, other then the bump, it feels like anything else. no pain whatsoever. should i go get it checked?? it doesn't seem too serious, only because i've had it for years, it stayed the same size [never got bigger or smaller for that matter], and was never painful. any ideas??
thanks!!

If it doesnt change size or color or hurt, its normal. Im guessing you were born with it. Its most likely a mole.

For peace of mind, see a doctor who can tell you during an appointment what the bump is. I may not be a doctor but I know if the bump were a serious problem you would tremendously ill by now if it has been there for years.
It's likely something benign that may even be able to be removed in a medical procedure. Bottom line, ask your doctor if it's really troubling you.

I'm no doctor, but it sounds to me like it's probably a cyst. I have two--one on my forehead and one on up near my neck between my shoulders. So yours sound like what I have.
That said, it never hurts to get a doctor to check it. It'll set your mind at ease, or worst case scenario, catch something that could become more severe.
