Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding cystic lump behind the ear from where a cyst had already being removed.

As you said that you developed a cystic lump in the site of operation for post aural cyst, it indicates that there some hemorrhage takes place in operative field therefore a cystic lump reappear and your doctor had drained it out.

Probably it was a right step and this will now heal up with the help of antibiotic and anti inflammatory.

I think your query is answered.

Regards.
