SUMMARY:
– According to the American Cancer Society, a lump or mass on the neck may be caused by nasopharyngeal cancer, or NPC for short, that has spread to the lymph nodes in your neck.
– A lump behind your ear can also be bad news given that these formations often accompany certain types of cancer, like skin cancer, for example.
– When the lymphatic system breaks down, our lymph nodes become enlarged and tender. In most cases, these swollen glands indicate simple infection, but they can be a sign of a dangerous condition.
– Some viral and bacterial infections can provoke mastoiditis, which is an inflammation of the mastoid bone that’s located behind the ear.
– One of the most trivial yet very common causes of ear and neck lumps is sebaceous cysts. They basically form in damaged or blocked sebaceous glands.
– Even though lipomas are usually nothing to worry about, they can get pretty big and turn into liposarcoma, which is a cancer of the connective tissues.
– Harmless lumps caused by minor infection are easy to spot. They usually get really red and swollen right off the bat. If your lump doesn’t look infected, is the same color as your skin, but keeps getting bigger after a week, it’s time to pay a visit to your doctor.
– Junk food only puts more toxins in your system, when what you need to do is cleanse your body to remove the fatty tissue inflammation that caused your lipoma in the first place.
