[|Human|] my seven year old daughter has just shown me a lump behind her left ear that is the size of a five cent peice and about 5 to 10 mm high, it isnt overly painful and is not a different colour from the surrounding area. i will get her to a doctor in the morning or does it require more urgent attention.Thanks in advance for your help. stuart
[|AI|]  Hi dear, The symptoms you mention can occur due to two things. First it can be sebaceous Cysts. This type of cyst develops around the sebaceous gland, which is responsible for producing oil that lubricates your skin and hair. Secondly it can be acne Vulgarism. Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles in the skin become clogged. Dead skin cells and oil can clog the follicles. As a result, pimples and bumps may develop. In both cases there is nothing to panic you can easily wait till morning. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clindamycin for 5-7 days and rule of the causes like Otis Media or lymphadenopathy. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
