Lump on mastoid?
Since this year beginning there was some rubbery thing growing on the mastoid bone, now it has increased and there's a slight lump.
When i palpate it, it feels like rubbery and movable, and its size of a daal(lentil) seed.
Its not on the skin rather on the bone. Please help me, i am worried. I also have a pre-auricular node infront of my tragus which never went down after a viral infection in january, and it has remained of the same size but there is no lump there but if i palpate I can feel it. Its not painful too. I am scared of cancer please help

You are an ideal patient for a biopsy. Not because we suspect some cancer in your case but because you are obsessed with Mr Google.
Once the biopsy is done , at least for the next six months you will not consult Doctors. Of course subsequently you will have some other growth of the size of दाल and start consulting Super-specialists again.
