what could be causing this growing painful irregular lump on my tragus? I have no piercings there and I'm an aesthetician and cleanse and exfoliate daily. I first noticed it several weeks ago and saw a dermatologist, then an ENT. Biopsy was inclusive.It hurts moderately and sometimes itches. Ive been on antobiotics 3 days> if anything, it appears to be growing. *inconclusive
