Hello, I m a mother trying to find some sort of answer to this problem my son has. I have a 23 yr old son that lives with me and has developed a marble sized growth directly in-between the Crus of Helix and the Lower Crus of Antihelix. I looked up a diagram of the outer ear for the exact location I m trying to explain. My son complains of this lump becoming more painful the larger it grows. My son has also tried to squeeze this lump, but I have cautioned against this action due to not knowing exactly what we re dealing with. I must also mention that just about 1 1/2 wks ago my son had a place on his chest that was infected from a necklace, we applied neosporin and bandages. The area on his chest finally seemed to heal up , but now we have a lump in his ear. Could this lump in his outer ear seem to be a possible side effect from the once infected area on my son s chest?
