Bump On Left Side Of Face, Slight Movement. History Of Accident, Orthopedic Surgeries
Hello, I was inquiring about a movable pea sized movable bump on the left side of my face. The location is in front of my ear, a tad bit lower then my ear lobe. Approximately 3/4 of an inch above my jaw bone. Should I be alarmed? I was told any slight movement and pain would not be associated with Cancer. Is this true? I am immune compromised from a multi-trauma motor vehicle accident which resulted in many internal as well as orthopedic surgeries. Any ideas? Heather
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having pre auricular enlarge lymph node. It indicates that you might be having some infection in surrounding area. Consult your doctor and get examined. Do not worry about cancer. Ok and take care.
