Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have large hard bump behind ear which could be due to inflammation of post auricular lympn node. It could be cartiligious in nature. Need not to worry. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get complete examination done and start treatment after proper prescription. Apply warm compresses behind ear. Take proper course of antibiotics to subside infection. Remove rings and maintain hygiene of that area to keep that aseptic.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
I find this answer helpful
