Does Hard Lump In Front Of Ear Above Ear Lobe Requires Attention?
22yrs old; 5 4; 174lbs; family history of diabetes, heart disease, and auto immune diseases: MS and lupus. I have a small, hard lump in front of my ear 1 inch above earlobe. Painful when pressed. Didn t notice it until I leaned my face into my hand. Should I go see a doctor? Doesn t hurt unless it s pressed.

just try anti inflammatory drugs like brufen 400mg twice a day... if swelling dose not respond we can further plan for ultrasonogram nd treat acordingly....
