Lump behind both ears

I'm not sure where else to turn so thought I would try here...

I have been trying to get a gp appointment for weeks but keep being told none available. About 8 weeks ago I found a small hard lump behind my ear then 3 weeks later another 1 behind the other ear. These have now grown to the size of a kidney bean. Then a week ago I found another lump at the back of my neck on my hairline. I have also been experiencing fatigue with an extremely itchy body but mainly my scalp. Any ideas?

Thank you so much for reading this 

  • Hello Stacey86

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently discovered some lumps and that you're having difficulty in getting an appointment to see your GP. 

    We would recommend that anyone who discovers a new lump or has changes to existing lumps gets these checked by their Dr so you are doing exactly the right thing in trying to organise a GP appointment. 

    If you're struggling to arrange an appointment then you can always ask to speak to the Practice Manager or contact NHS 111 for advice. 

    I hope you have some answers soon. 

    Best wishes,
