What Could Be The Reason For Having A Lump In Front Of My Ear?
I have a small sized lump right in front of my ear. Where the joint of my jaw is. I have tmj & am going to a maxillofacial doctor in about two weeks. Any clue what this could be? Could it be because of my tmj? It is very painful, so I'm a little concerned.
