Swelling behind ear?

2023-08-19 15:48:45
As you can see the picture i have swelling on the mastoid bone also idk if that's swelling or not, near the SCM muscle. I am out of India and I am scared if this is something serious. Please hep me out. When i palpate the bone there it feels a very slight tender. And I am having insomnia and dry eyes since many months. Please help me, I am very scared :(. There are whitish spots, maybe tinea versicolor. Pls help. I am scared about cancer :(
