Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yesterday, I was rubbing my head from being stressed and when I went by my right ear there is a hard lump in front of it which is located around the area where the jaw bone connects. Is it possible that it is a tumor or is it just a swollen gland? Also if it is some type of tumor should I go to my family physician for further examination?
Welcome at HCM. I appreciate your health concerns.. What is your age? Is it hard or soft? Any redness and discharge from ear? In my opinion you really need to be examined before a reasoned conclusion can be drawn. If I am your attending physician after physical examination I will proceed forward. I will get your X ray and Ct scan on basis of my examination findings. Meet ENT surgeon so that it can be properly dealt. Hope it helps. Regards Dr saad Sultan
