Hi,
It might be post auricular lymph node swelling/ may be sometime cyst.
Is it painful ? Is your ear piercing painful ? Do you have dandruff ? These are to be answered.
A course of antibiotic and anti dandruff shampoo might help.
Visit, nearest ENT specialist for confirmation.
Wish you fast recovery
