Lump behind left ear ruptured under skin
I had a lump behind my hear. I assumed it was a pimple, and i squeezed it. It seemed to rupture, but internally. It was inflamed and red for a day or two, but no discomfort came with it. Since then the redness has gone away, but i still have a firm lump behind my ear which now seems to extend down almost 1 inch toward my jaw in a line.
