What Causes Bump Behind Ear Which Bleeds After Rubbing?
Hi, I have a bump behind my right ear. It s been there for several days and out of nowhere today I rubbed it and discovered it was bleeding. I pressed it until all the blood was out. Kind of worried it might be a tumor. Can you provide any knowledge on this?

Hi , Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum .
As per your clinical history it appears that you are having post auricular mastoid abscess.
It is less likely to be tumor .
If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you
consult your ENT doctor for thorough examination, necessary investigations and treatment.
Till then use antibiotic ointment twice daily .
Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.
