I have the save the same problem..i found a tiny bump behind my left ear last night and it hurts..and this morning i found another near my gland area by my throat. so i took some advil. I too do not have insurance. I read other sites and they said that is a gland..and you are probalby fight a bug and are run down and are stressed. let me know what you found out

You both probably have sebaceous cysts that usually appear like soft, symmetrical bumps near the hair line, neck, skull. This is not serious and you can get rid of them if you visit dermatologist.

my 5 year old daughter has had a lump in her neck for a few months now that is getting larger by the day. it is now 4-5 inch. and extends from behind her ear down to almost her collar bone and comes off her neck about 1 inch. she complain about severe pain in her neck and that is it. i have taken her in to see a doctor twice and they tell me she has an ear infection but she never complains about anything but her neck. i am very concerned and think that it could be a bigger problem, and get discouraged every time i take her in because they always pawn the problem off as an ear infection after looking at her for only about 1 minute. please tell me what i can do so that my baby does not have to suffer any longer.

wat u do is u tell the dockter to check her for thyroid problems and if they refuse you tell them that u want it done because its your daughters health at risk

I found a medium sized lump between my ear and the hairline, a day later i noticed i have another one about a cm into my hairline feels smaller but both lumps are hard and not soft like the lumps i have read about above. They also dont hurt to touch but i do get a weird sensation when i do touch it but not painfull. I am very worried what this could be.

Please please have your daughter checked, i've experienced the same problem, i discovered a lump in my throat, i had an ultrasound done which showed a tumor on my thyriod, i then had a biopsy which came back negative, but i know that i was have health issues and insteaded on second biopsy which came back negative again, the doctors said just leave it alone but i could feel that the lump had increased in size and insteaded on having the lump removed, after the surgury i was told it was cancer of the thyriod and the entire thyriod had to be removed not only that but they discovered that there was four lumps 2 that were 4cm and the there 2 were about 2-2.5 cm big these tumor were not discovered on the ultrasound,and i had radition and after a year was recovering only to rediscover more growth in ther same area and again i had surgery which was 8.5 hours long and this time they removed over 28 lumps of all sizes, anything that looks cancerous they removed, and again i had radition and this past dec again the tests didn't look good and again i had radition to kill off any cancer there might be growing, this has been a five year ordeal for me, and now i've discovered a lump behind my right ear which is why i was reading the blogs on this sight and now again i will instead on more tests, i know that if i hadn't insteaded over and over again the first surgery and the second surgery never would have happened and i would most likeily be dead because the tests were wrong but i knew that i am not well and wanted answers, you luvline26 please instead over and over until you have some answers cause the doctors wouldn't fight for your daughter and you have to fight for your daughter, i'm sorry if i've scared you with my story but i just had to let you know that i think that your daughter's story seems similar to what i had, i'll pray for your daughter's good health.

Hey i found a lump on my neck 3 days ago, it's really painfull when i move and i have started to get head aches to. does any one know what it is it feels kindo hard but if i tought it is's soar.

I also found a strange lump hat is under the skin on the bottom left side of my head. It is right on the bone of the skull and was tender. I was also reading some of the blogs and am worried too. I am going to my doctor tomorrow and I will let you know what I am told. I have also been having sweating when I am sleeping and have never had this before I wonder if its related. Either way I am going to the doctor becasue I am very worried.

Hi everyone lumped together....lol I found a hard painful lump behind my right ear a couple of nights ago, at first it freaked me out, but then I stopped worrying about it until tonight, I started thinking that it may have something to do with me having the right side and middle part of my thyroid removed....could it be the result of that and should I be worrying about it? I had the surgery about 3 and half years ago and I have also had significant weight gain but have had my thyroid tested, and they said that my left side of my thyroid is working fine.....I am just a little concerned at this time. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, I am all ears and then some = )
