Systematic swelling behind the ear
I've been having a systematic swelling behind the right ear for 3yrs and I feel irritation and pain sometimes and I keep touching it.I consulted both ENT and general doctors.They told me I have a sensitive skin and please don't touch it.and they gave me some antibiotics.But the availability of that antibiotics are very less so I can't purchase it.Now I stopped touching it and the swelling is getting reduced but still I can feel that inside my skin.Pls tell me what is it?Why ?Is it dangerous?

Usually post operative swellings can be lymph node or it may be bony swelling. Direct clinical examination and CT scan can confirm the diagnosis. Fine needle aspiration cytology also can be useful. Once confirmed treatment can be planned
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
