General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome.

The lump if examined by a doctor could indeed be your cartilage. If you belong to the teenage group, then this could indeed grow with time as your body is growing and developing, you are becoming a man. Please do not fret over such minor issues, and learn to live life to the fullest.

If you really have an issue, visit another doctor and request for an incision and drainage or the initiation of antibiotic coverage, nothing more and nothing less. But in my opinion, you are just being paranoid.

Best wishes.
