Lump Behind Ear

2021-04-27 13:51:08
Hello Doctor, 2 days back after shower I noticed a small bump behind my ear. It was relatively small and I could feel that it is not on the skin, its under the skin. I can pull the skin on top of it the lump won't move. Just as I speak I sense another small lump or bump coming up close to it. What should be my course of action?
