Suggest Treatment For Lump Near Earlobe
Hi, my name is Misty. I have recently noticed that their is a small BB sized ball (like from a bb gun) in my earlobe. It does not seem to be a pimple or zit, I cannot pop it. If you know what it might be, do you know of any home remedies I can use to help get rid of it.

Hello Misty, the mass you can feel on ear lobule is most likely a lipoma that is a benign tumor of fat cells which is just a mass of fat nothing else.so dont bother about it if it is not producing pain or increasing in size.If you want to get rid of it anyway for cosmetic reasons, you can contact any good surgeon and they can remove it under local anesthesia.
Thanks for your query.
