Suggest Treatment For A Hard Lump On The Ear

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?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
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
