Suggest Remedy For A Bump Appearing Above The Ear

My 4 year old son has a bump above his right ear...no trauma. This happened a month ago too and his lymph node swelled, the bump went away and about a week later the lymph node returned to normal size. So now the bump is back again in its original place and a little red. He says it hurts. Why is this happening again?

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having infected sebaceous cyst leading to enlarged tender lymph node.
As there is again recurrence, history repeats.
Consult surgeon and get it excised with complete removal of sac.
Ok and take care.
