Your temperature is not the same everywhere on your body. Therefore, you will measure different temperatures at different locations, which should not be compared with each other. For this reason, there are different standard values for the normal temperature for measurements at the forehead, ear, armpit etc.
Another factor for such measurement differences is the measuring device. Different devices measure your temperature in different ways. Depending on the manufacturer, the accuracy of the thermometer can also vary, which also results in differences in the measured values.
