Why There Are Hard And Painful Lumps Behind His Ear And At Hairline?

My husband is 45, very healthy (5' 11", appx 160 lbs), has recently (the last 2 months) developed hives and facial edema in response to high stress. Last night developed a large (diameter appx 1.5-2 inch) hard, painful lump behind his right ear (over temporal bone, NOT mastoid). Has another, smaller lump (appx .5 inch) at hairline below larger lump. Wondering what the possibilities are.

Hi,Dear,Good Evening and Thanks for your query to HCM.I went through your query deails indepth.
-In my opinion,in relation to the facts told by you,its URTICARIA-CIU-with bumps on hairline and ear.
-These are due mostly to allergic interaction with esosinophilia.
-Causes to rule out are-perfumes,cosmetics used,food items, worm infestation, bacterial / viral infection.

-Remedy-Consult ER-physician who would do CBC, and would treat it with -
Antihistaminic, Hetrazan,steroids,inj-epinephrine- drugs accordingly.
Hope this would resolve your worries about the lump .Wellcome again for many more queries to HCM online Clinic-from you and your freinds
