I am a 19 year old and I have a cystic aberration behind my left ear. Last year I did go to an ent and he told me if it does not pain and it does not grow then there is nothing to worry about. Now I feel it, it has kind of swollen up an bit in comparison to the last time and it hurts a bit when I press it. It isn't too hard but it's not soft either.
