I have had a health scare. Just over 5 years ago I had surgery to remove a benign tumor under my ear. It appears to be back. On thursday I had severe pain under my right ear and there was a lump. I went to the doctor on Friday and he hopes it is just a nasty infection and he gave me penicillan & I hope it works. I just have the feeling it isn't an infection as it feels and looks exactly the same as last time!
