i don't know. i can't see it or examine you to be able to offer you a definite answer. it could be a sebaceous cyst a localized skin infection or even a reactive preauricular lymph node. you will need to physically see a medical provider so you can be properly examined diagnosed and treated. since this lump is painful and tender i would suggest that you do this as soon as possible.
