Suggest Treatment For Removal Of Lumps In Ear

Hi,
I have a hard immovable lump under the skin of my left ear. It is located on the helix and as said is under the skin. I just recently noticed it and have had it for at least two weeks now. It is painless and since I have recognized it, there has been no change in size.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI.
Thanks for a good information.
This is most probably a seroma, meaning a collection of blood or serum under the skin. This is so because it is present only for 2 weeks.
The treatment is repeated aspiration and to get a compression bandage. Consult only an ENT Surgeon, He only knows the proper treatment.
If it fails to resolve, button therapy can be done for a permanent cure wherein a button is stitched to keep this in a compressed position.
I find this answer helpful
