What Is The Cause For A Lump Behind My Ear After Getting My Hair Bleached?

Hi, a couple months ago i had my hair bleached & a day later noticed a lump behind my right ear. I went to the Doctor who didnt seem too concerned about it. It has gone down alot, is painless, was wondering if it could be a reaction to the bleach. I was also on Accutane when i had my hair done, could that make my skin react more?

Hi,

The lump you noticed behind your right ear could be related to allergic reaction to bleach you used for hair.

If Accutane has not cause any problem until now, it is not related to the lump behind your right ear.

All the best!
