I can feel a bump in this area. I wear hearing aids and it is very painful to insert the one in the affected ear. It is also difficult to open my mouth very wide. This began at some point between going to bed Sat.night and awaking Sun. morn!
you could have eczema in your ear which might explain your symptoms. yor dr could confirm the diagnosis by examining your ear. a steroid cream would treat the eczema and improve your symptoms.
