What Causes A Lump On The Earlobe Along With Severe Headaches?
I have had a lump/bump/mass on my earlobe for over a month now, it's on the inner part of my earlobe closest to my head. I went to the doctor and they prescribed me antibiotics, and it still has not gone away. It isn't painful, but if I touch it or lay on it, it does feel a little sore. There is no head to it, it cannot be popped and you cannot see it, you can only feel it. Also for about a week now, I've had bad headaches every day. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it though.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* As per my surgical experience, this lump is suggestive of possible dermoid cyst or lymph node.
* Headache is a separate entity not related to the above lump.
I recommend to undertake an ultrasound of the local part and get checked with Physician for headache.
Take care.
