What Is The Cause Of Painful Hump On Back Of Head And Ear Pain?
So the other day I found this huge hump on the back of my head. It hurt when anyone would touch it and sometimes even when nothing was on it. Well today my ear is hurting so bad I'm in tears, but the hump is smaller then what it was. I haven't hit my head or anything. Please help tell me what it is.
