Lumps behind ears
I've got lumps behind both my ears which have started hurting a lot and they seem to look like small boils. I got them a couple of days back when they weren't hurting but they have started hurting now.

As per your description it looks like post auricular lymphadenopathy.. visit an ENT specialist for proper assessment and treatment..if not relieved by medicine go for FNAC.
