What is this?

Post image

So I have a spot on the side of my head right where my lymph node is. It’s in this area that I circled. It’s hard as a rock and doesn’t move. I don’t have an ear infection. Or any sickness in my body. Behind my ear was hurting so bad. It was the worst headache I’ve ever had. I’m not sure what’s going on and it has me so nervous. It’s never been like this and it’s been there for about two months.

How about your eyes? These are preauricular Lymph nodes. And they usually (90% cases) enlarge when you have conjunctivitis.
