So I noticed this a few months ago and I'm 99.99% sure it's not a cysts or ingrown hair. It's a bump right above my right ear. It totally feels like solid bone! I have a really tiny one above my left ear. It doesn't hurt to touch or press on it. It doesn't move go in. I'm a 40 old male, who's a plumber. I saw something about vinyl chloride ,and arsenic could cause something like this. Polyvinyl chloride is piping we use to plumb drain lines in homes, and I smoke cigarettes so that could be the arsenic. So does anybody know what this is? It doesn't seen to be getting bigger, but my barber notice it while cutting my hair (2 months) between hair cuts. Any help would be great thanks.

As Osidge says you need to consult your GP.
