Q: Swollen lump near ear, sore neck, sore spot on scalp.

Out of nowhere a small lump developed by my right ear inbetween my sideburn and the ear (the soft piece of skin inbetween there). The lump is hard, can't be moved.

This lump hurt when i touched it and it continued to hurt for a while after touching it. Then my neck (the fleshy part right under my right ear) got sore to the touch, then my scalp became sore right above my right ear, the part that is sore is about 1.5 inches in diameter.

This started last night June 20th, today is the 21st and it's a little worse than it was yesterday.

Please someone give me some guidance.

Thanks

I have similar symptoms. The gland on the left side of my neck is painful and swollen, my left ear is experiencing pain and irritation, and the left side of my scalp has an area of painful, red, swollen bumps that are sore to the touch. I'm also experiencing some bad headaches on the left side of my head, sort of like occasional shooting pains.
