What Is The Reason For Hard Lump Under Ear That Is Painful When Touched?
I have a hard lump beside my jaw bone under my ear but my throat nor ear is hurting and the lump only hurts when I touch and recently my hair line around my face has been tender to the touch but it will last a few days and then stop and then it will happen again a few weeks later
