Hi,

Noted your history about gauging the ears last ear that developed into a lump behind right ear.
The most probable causes are as follows:
Development of a condition called as chondritis wherein the fluid develops in between the skin and the cartilage.
Lipoma.
Sebaceous cyst.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Any of the above conditions can not be treated by you at home.
Consult an ENT Surgeon to have a proper diagnosis.
May need a surgery and type of surgery will be totally dependent o the diagnosis.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
