What Causes Small Knot On Both Sides Of Ear?
hi, i m felesia. I have a small knot on both sides of my ears right below the temples, one above the right ear a little lower than the temple area, and two on the back of my left neck below the hairline area. They are about the size of eraser on a pencil, maybe a smidge bigger. They have been coming and going within the last 6 or 7 months? No fever, pain, or soreness to touch.

hello
the knots may be enlarged lymph nodes and may be due to small infections in your scalp. please meet your dermatologist , to look for the cause and get treated accordingly.
Take care!
