hi.
based from your description, it could be cellulitis (behind your left ear) and an abscess formation (back of your head). it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. medical (proper antibiotic regimen) and surgical (incision/excision and drainage) management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
