Hi,

Well -- wasn't going to bother mentioning it as I didn't think of it much, but it's been around 5-6 months now and they're still there. A small rice sized bump behind each ear, both in pretty much exactly the same spot. I first found out about them when I scratched one -- which hurt quite a bit. For the first few days it was a little painful, but probably because I had been touching it. Eventually there was no more pain, but the bump was still there. I only found out about the second one on the other ear some days later, when I felt both ears in the same spot just to feel the difference. Same story as the first -- after a few days eventually I could touch them without any pain.

For the most part after that I've forgotten/ignored the 2 bumps -- but it's been awhile now, and still no change. Both in exactly same spot, same size. It's almost as if something the size of a grain of rice had been "implanted" in each side. I'm thinking of getting a picture taken of each one so I can actually see them myself -- and perhaps upload them here, see what you all think.

And advice and input is greatly appreciated. They're starting to worry me...

The dual chip implants could serve for triangulation purposes, although i'm not sure of the advancements in true modern technology and that form of tracking may be utterly obsolete... Or maybe they're transmitting waves to eachother, manipulating brain waves a certain way... I'd like to be debunked if there is someone more "in the know" about these things.


Hmm.. Seems I've got them too. Could be a nerve or something..

Symetrical bumps....

It kind of rules out cysts due to thier exact symetry but anything is possible.

Have you had them looked at? Next appointment you can have your MD look at them. Its possible that its part of the bone structure. Without palpating them its impossible to tell what they may or may not be.

I have a bump like that behind my right ear it showed up over 10 years ago. I have no clue what it is but I am still alive and as far as I can remember it has never caused me any issues, other than when it first appeared. Like you said, it was sore for a while then the pain just went away. Weird.

That's natural. I know pretty well my ears and can tell you I'm born with those bumps. Guess everyone has. Otherwise I was chipped intra-utero.

I have complained to no less than 6 docs of chronic L ear pain. They look and say 'looks nice and pink'. Their does reside a bump under the lobe.

OK, first did you just start wearing glasses or a hard hat or helmet or anything?

If not, symetrical is very strange. If so, consider a build up, callouse or something like that from friction from something you're wearing.

Surprised you didn't have a mate look at one or both in last 5-6 months.

But...I did have one doc who laughed when I asked about something strange in my throat, but then she said 'I tend to be an under-reporter. I've got all sorts of strange things going on with me and I just ignore them'.

I kid you not.

(checks arrow in foot. OKfine.)

Uh what was I saying?

Edit: Oh yeah, if it's been there since birth and it's where I think you mean, high up and close, that's a bone (see below).

If it just happened behind one ear and it was 10 months ago, then that's a cyst. Hair follicle gets infected, skin forms a capsule around the infected area, which hardens. Then capsule remains, doesn't hurt.

Symmetrical cysts that formed on the same day or soon after, and OP does not wear glasses or hats, then that is odd enough to get a photo and check.

2 cents...

Oh jeeze:

I checked my own ears to be sure and I don't have any bumps. Here's a thought - compress the bump with your fingers and see if you can break it, just like popping a pimple. Also, I want you to answer a question - what do you do for a living? Are you involved with goverment or any secret organization?

Never wore glasses, no hat -- helmet, or anything. Can't think of anything that I wear that could cause these...

I did have a few people look at them, but they don't really know what it is -- just recommended going to the doctors and getting them checked. Which I probably will do... but first I want to get close-up shots of them with a camera and just have a look for myself. I'm always a bit hesitant going to the doctors unless I really need to. I find it unlikely that I was born with these, but I guess it's a possibility. They don't seem to be part of bone or anything... it's either directly under the skin or growing out of the exterior of the skin -- I have to see the pictures to be sure. But from feeling them they seem to be just under.

Seeing how many others have similar things -- I'm sure it's probably nothing to be too worried about, but I'll get it checked out for sure. Thanks for the input and advice people!

I don't really want to try breaking it until I get it further looked at -- it doesn't take much fiddling with them for the pain to come back. As for my living -- definately not involved in any government or secret organizations as far I know.

I'm just turning 19, live in Far north Queensland Australia -- pretty remote little area within the rainforest. Most of what I do revolves around entomology (insect hunting, photography)... but any money I generate comes out of doing a bit of construction work, every now and then.

Cheers!

Listen, when you squeeze the bump does the rice thing itself hurt or just your skin? It sounds like an implant, that's why I wondered what you do for a living. It might be the new RFID chip (that one sure kicked up a lot of religious debate on myspace). I hear Walmart is carrying them in the jeans and other products they sell. Are you missing hours? Missing any time at all? Any idea of when they could have been placed there> Try taking some pliers, it will hurt but you could crush the implant.

My bump is on the back of my ear, right next to where my ear connects to my skull. Could be a completely different thing, but I think badge01's pic could explain yours...

Get a couple of neo magnets, place one over each bump with a bandaid while you sleep. That should knock them out.

Aha!

I knew there was a simple explanation... god I feel dumb now.
Thanks for the info, ya learn something new everyday! I guess I just never noticed them before...
