My wife had a small bump behind her ear that first appeared to be a pimple. Several weeks have passed and it appears daek red in color. Unsure what it was we applied pressure to it which caused it to bleed bright red blood. It bled until we put constant pressure on it. The bump is still there and appears the same shape and size ( about the size of an eraser on a pencil )
Hi, Welcome. Based on the facts of your query, the lump behind ear, seems to be Post-auricular Infective granuloma, with fresh blood bleeding. Such a lump, could be from Abscess in Post-auricular Lymphadenitis, or Desmond cyst/ or Cancer. Treatment would depend on- its cause and stage of the tissue of the lump-Hence I would suggest you to have an opinion from a ENT Surgeon, who would investigate the lump by FNAC Biopsy and would treat this lump according to the cause of the lump. Hope this would help you to plan further treatment with your doctor. Will appreciate your Hitting thanks and writing excellent review comments to help needy patients like you. Welcome with any other further query in this regard. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. S. Genl-CVTS
