In\u00a0some cases, these lumps are\u00a0causedby\u00a0acne or\u00a0lipomas and are not really dangerous.

These lumps are usually not painful, but they shouldn\u2019t be\u00a0ignored. Other\u00a0symptoms\u00a0of\u00a0NPC may include impaired hearing, nasal blockages and nosebleeds, blurred vision, facial pain, or\u00a0numbness and headaches. Even if\u00a0you have no\u00a0symptoms except for lumps on\u00a0your neck, schedule a\u00a0visit to\u00a0a\u00a0doctor to\u00a0exclude the most severe cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lumps behind the ears may also\u00a0accompany\u00a0some types of\u00a0cancer,\u00a0<\/strong>like skin cancer, for example, or\u00a0can be\u00a0caused by\u00a0benign tumors.
