I have a little cyst under my skin behind my ear, but just below my ear lobe. Has anyone had this or have any idea what it is, or if I should be concerned about it?

Jeez. My Hubby gets these periodically and then the Lymph nodes in the back of his head puff up.

The reg docs claim its no biggie and lance it.

I have my concerns, but you know the addage...you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

Nothing would surprise me as to if this is infection rellated for you.

Good luck.

I have the same thing catgirl. Mine is a small hard cyst, probably smaller than a marble.

I've not had mine looked at either, but I would think its a lymph node.

I have seen this before too. It showed up in someone at age 7 and she still has it 20 years later. I don't think its anything to worry about. Doctors have different opinions, but none say it's anything to be concerned about.
