What Causes Small Bump Near Ear?
Hello! I am a healthy 24 year old female. I have previously noticed a small bump right in front of my ear. It's been there for a while. It's subcutaneous, and there's no indication of it on the skin above. It moves easily and is not painful unless I push on it. Is this something I should have checked out?

Hi,
from history itseems that you might be having pre-auricular enlarge lymph node.
It shows that there might be having some infection in the ear or surrounding area.
Many a time if ear prickk is done for ear ring, you can have.
As it is not painful or not markedly enlarged, nothing to worry.
If any sign of infection is there go for its treatment.
ok and take care.
