Growth behind ears

2016-03-05 02:29:10
There was one huge abnormal growth behind my ears which got bursted, and the doctor extracted a lot of pus from there, and did the necessary dress up by applying betadine. I was on antibiotics, and that growth wqs diminished, and my skin is now normal.Still there is a pimple sized formation right there, what could it be. Can it grow back again..?
