You seem to be having dermoid cyst of the posterior auricular region. This is a simple benign cystic swelling which slowly enlarges in size. It does not require any treatment if not troubling you. There are no long term implications. If you are worried then simple excision of the cyst under local anesthesia can be done
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
