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.
Hello, I ve had a small bump with a little red like ball on the back of my left ear. It s been there for years and I ve been to the dermatologist for it to see if it s cancerous and it came back negative. It causes no pain at all I don t even realize it s there. Do you have any idea what it could be?
This can be a lymph node. Since you had it checked by your dermatologist and he took a biopsy and came back negative, then you don't need to worry about it. If it gets bigger or more appears or gets inflamed you need to refer to the dermatologist to take a look at it again.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
