Experiencing Swollen Lymph Node And Numbness Behind The Ear , What Is The Problem ?
Hello, I have a swollen lymph node behind my right ear, and I also have numbness in my scalp. There is considerable swelling that seems to be mucus or something under my skin. Any ideas as to what this could be? I've also got bumps on my scalp that are really sore.

Hello,
It could be seborrhic on the scalp and because of that the lymph node is swollen behind the ears for which the treatment is antibiotic and antidandruff shampoo.
Or it could be a sebaceous cyst behind the ear and for which the treatment is removal.
You need to consult an ENT specialist for examination and treatment.
In doubt do reply
