What Causes Flesh-coloured Bump Underneath Right Ear?
Question: docter i just found a small fleshy bump underneath my right ear a little bit. it does not hurt or is sore when pressed down on. it just feels like a fleshy bump that doesnt feel like a normal bug bite. never had any health problems and am an athlete in great shape. what do you think?
Brief Answer:
unlikely to be anything serious
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Going by the description, it doesn't seem like anything serious. It may be some inflammation of the skin glands, a cyst or a benign tumor of the skin or subcutaneous fat like lipoma.
You need to keep it under observation, if it increases in size or becomes painful then doctor consult is warranted.
Hope this helps.
Regards
