What Does A Growing Lump In Front Of The Ear Indicate?
My husband had a lump to appear in front of his right ear and is getting larger. He has had two surgeries for skin cancers on his scalp which required radical surgery. Could the lump be related to the cancers since one has not completely healed? Is this a gland in the area of the ear?

HI. This can very much be a lymph node as you suspected right.
The best way to get a diagnosis is ultrasonography and FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology.
The reports will lead to the proper treatment needed.
