What Causes A Bump On The Crus Of The Helix?
Question: I have a large bump that when I touch it it feels like a blister or like it's filled with liquid on what I believe is my crus helix what could it be I thought at first it was a blind pimple because it was sore but it's been 2 weeks and it just is getting bigger but never comes to a head. I did try to pop it but it wouldn't pop and when I push on it I can hear the cartridge or something move it hurts but not unless I touch or push on it. If it is a blind pimple what can I do to get it to come to a head? It almost feels like it's under the cartridge and if I push on it I can feel the sac of what seems to be fluid.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.

This is most probably a seroma that is common at this place.
- The first principal is not to pop or push or press on it as it may increase.
- Please post clear and focused photographs so that I can tell you the further management accordingly.
