Well, guess what? Maybe our ears came from the same place....because I have a knot as well...used to be significantly bigger when I was a kid but has persisted throughout the decades (I'm not going to tell my age unless you tell me yours first!) HAHA! It's going to be one of 2 things....either it's an enlarged lymph node which will eventually go back down and disappear or it may remain and calcify.....or it simply may be a calcified piece of bone. It shouldn't hurt and it's pretty solid if yours is like mine.

If you'd like to catch me on the Magic Channel to ask me questions more privately 1-1 then, please feel free to write to me@

and I'll be happy to answer them. Trust me, when I first discovered this thing and I was a kid I didn't like it at all...I wanted my dad to take it off (he's a surgeon...still is at age 84--pretty good, huh?). Well, he wouldn't do it and for years I used to push it, pull it, and just manipulate it thinking it would go away...NOT! So long as it doesn't continue to grow, became, red, swollen, ulcerated, change in color or texture, etc. then, you honestly don't need to do anything....and in a few years you'll forget it.

You may think everyone in the world is going to be looking straight at this thing and feel embarrassed about it....don't sweat it.....it'll blend in with the rest of your head if you allow it to....so stop touching it....no need to touch it anymore.....don't even think about it....either do some homework, housework, or philosophize on parallel universes and ask yourself if your twin in the next universe over has this same little bump or not...and if they do....is it on the opposite ear? Or is it on the bottom since yours is on the top?

Bottom line is I believe what you have is simply an enlarged or a calcified lymph node or it is a simple bony calcification which is going to be benign and likely persist for life. You don't have to worry about it...it will not likely get very much bigger and if anything may get smaller but it could take a few decades.....you gonna tell me your age yet? HA!......

If the information I've given to you is helpful please rate the question with lots of 5 pointed stars and feel free to share some of your thoughts to let me know how I did and if you have any other questions you want to ask me privately on the network.

As far as your left arm is concerned I don't see where it would have anything to do with your right ear so if you want me to help you with that you'll definitely have to send me another question to my webpage and give me more specific information about wassup cuz obviously you haven't really said what you mean by "serious issues"

Once again, I'd really appreciate it very much if you'd rate the answer with STARS and give me some feedback on if this answer helped you or not.

Cheers!
