Should I Be Worried Of Lump On Front Of Ear?

I recntly found a lump in front of my right ear. It doesn t hurt but it is sore right above my ear when I press on it. It certainly feels like its gone down in size but I can t help but worry. I called the ENT and made an appointment. Should I be worried it is some sort of tumor? I m a little scared.

Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.
My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

well, every lump we see is not malignant. there are several differentials for this lump. you should visit your physician must for proper evaluation as in most of such lumps, diagnosis is via clinical examination. once you have established the diagnosis then you can get proper treatment but you should not get scared before even knowing the nature of this lump.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
