[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. Painful lump behind the ear and two - the possible cause could be hair follicular infection in first place.  2. Next possible cause could be lymph nodal enlargement - but rarely cause any pain on touch. 3. In this case first thing you need to get examined and get a course of antibiotics for treatment along with some painkillers.4. Advise you do not disturb the lumps by scratching / pressing / or any manner - as it will only complicate and delay healing process. 5. Maintain local hygiene and clean with antiseptic liquid after bath, and do not disturb the lump. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask ? Do not hesitate to ask.http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.
