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.
Ive had a lump behind my ear for quite some time, i have been wearing glasses for about 7 years now, i haven t noticed the lump until about a year and a half ago, i was wondering if wearing glasses could be the cause of it, but lately i have noticed the lump getting bigger and more sensitive to touch as to where it was not before.
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
No, it isn't due to the glasses. It may be an inflammed lymph node or may be a lipoma. I recommend you to consult your physician or an Ottorhinolaryngologist for physical examination and assessment.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards!
DR. MUHAMMAD M. HANIF
