Painful internal bump behind ear
I have observed a slightly painful bump internally behind my ear on the lower part, just a little above to my ear piercing. The bump can only be felt by hand but doesn't show externally. It hurts only when I touch it. What could it be? Please advise.

Nothing to worry, it could be a small keloid. Nothing to be done. If it bothers you, visit nearest Dermatology clinic to take the intralesional corticosteroid injections. It would disappear after 1-2 injections depending on size.
