What Does A Small Bump Inside The Ear Indicate?
Question: Hi, I notice a small bump inside my right ear
Brief Answer:
More information needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern and saw the picture, however the nature of the growth is not clear and I would need additional information in order to get a better idea.
Is it painful? Is it itchy? Is it flesh colored and hard to the touch or is it filled with fluid?
It seems to me like a sebaceous cyst, which is usually a lump that can be painful or not. Sebaceous cysts are harmless, grow slowly and sometimes can go away on its own.
I hope this helps. Feel free to add additional information or ask further questions.
Kind regards.

Brief Answer:
Possibly a pimple
Detailed Answer:
It is probably a pimple or a collection of fat tissue. If it doesn’t heal with time and becomes harder and painful you should see a dermatologist.
