Common Questions and Answers about Lump in earlobe

lump

Hello. I get a lump on my earlobe every now and them. They grow to about 1 cm in diameter and are usually not painful or itchy. They go away spontaneously after a couple weeks. However, I got another lump, and this time, it extended down a little below the earlobe. I lanced it and tried to squeeze it, but I couldn't get anything to come out.

Hi. i'm 15 years old. I have noticed that I have lumps in my earlobes. At first I just noticed one in my left earlobe, and then it gradually got bigger. Then I started feeling a small one in my right earlobe. I went to the doctor and her said that they were just masses of tissue.He also said that I would be ok unless they start to grow anymore within the next two weeks. Well, I think his diagnosis is wrong. Within the two weeks after my visit the lump in my right earlobe did get bigger.

The ears in the left ear have small soft lumps in them and the right ear had a bigger and hard lump in it. I was told that they were calcium deposits and to massage them to loosen up the lump so that it would go away, but it has not gone away. I would like to know how to prevent them from appearing and also how to get rid of them.

Hi, I seem to have some hard lumps in my earlobe that get really itchy. I'm starting to get worried about the because I have never had a piercing in my life and have never attempted to. Can someone tell me what it could be please?

Hello, For the past few years (three or so) I have had small lumps in my earlobes. Although they have never fully disappeared, the size of them changes quite often. One week they might be inflamed and painful to the touch and the next they could be very small and unnoticeable. About half a year ago I noticed that I had a few small, soft lumps on my neck. At that time I decided it would be best to have my physician have a look.

It then got better, the hard lump disappeared and was good for a couple weeks. Now I my earlobe does not have a hard lump but i feel a soft squichy texture,my ear is a bit inflamated and a bit painful when it is touched. What could this be ?WHat Should i Do? Is there any home remedies?

This could be a result of a minor infection or a minor bleed in the area at this early stage. Lumps felt after a month or two are a result of scar tissue formation.

I had a small lump on my left ear almost a year ago. It causes pain when I touch it. After some time, it grew bigger. Now, there is another lump on my right ear. I went to consult a doctor and he said that they're just cysts and will not cause any harm unless they're causing problem to me then I'll have to remove it by surgery. Since they're not a big problem to me, so I decided to just leave them alone. However, now they started to shift places at about few millimetres a few days.

and i felt something stucked in my throat,i felt that 1 day after taking my med.no obvous lump on my neck but i felt a lump inside. im so scared now thinking i may have cancer. this coming mon. ill go with ultrasound.hope everything will be ok.

Anyone else have ideas?

As of today, the pain and swelling has gone down somewhat. It feels like a firm lump right where my earlobe connects with my head and the skin on and around it has become very scaly and itchy. I'd love some insight as to what this could be and whether it's worth making a doctor's appointment for. Thank you!

Hey, about 2 months ago I found this pea-sized lump just behind my earlobe between the ear and skull. It does not hurt but I am concerned about this and have not seen a dr about it yet. Please help!

Sorry for the title, I want to correct it.

To make it short, i have this bump right under my left earlobe. when i squeeze it i notice it's hard and the size of a hB pencil eraser. and a little further down i have this hard area as well. it's like a little ball. When i look right i feel the lower bump. when i press or squeeze on these two bumps they do hurt. i've had bumps like the one right under my earlobe by my sideburn areas before but they went away.. but not the round ball one further down..

About a month ago I got a lump on the back of my earlobe. It grew bigger and bigger and after using the internet I found out it was a cyst (I think). It gradually grew smaller then after a week or two it grew bigger again. A couple minutes ago I was looking at it and realised there was a small spot that was dark red and so popped it. A lot of blood and pus came out and so I squeezed it all out but I found that there was a small clear tendon that was inside the cyst.

I found a small hard lump just below the earlobe, like where the ear meets the side of my head. Any idea what this could be? I am kind of panicking incase it's something sinister. I do recall I actually had a spot on my ear a while back (not sure if the 2 are linked but it's something to consider). Any help/advice would be appreciated.

They can hurt but they don’t have to, the pain usually appears when the lump starts pressing on some nerve ending in the earlobe. Trying to squeeze them out will only cause you more pain and can worsen the infection. The safest solution is to go to a plastic surgeon and have the lump removed. Hope this helps. Bye.

I have a tiny lump beneath my left earlobe and behind the jaw, in the little soft spot. Now, I read a question almost exactly like mine, however the asker's query was slightly different. Unlike their query, my lump did not appear suddenly. I have had it for a few years now. It hasn't increased in size, it's always just been there for the past few years. You can't see it, only feel it if you press your finger into the skin.

I think it's an anxiety thing, but I keep searching my body for other lumps. I feel around my sides and feel lots of things that I consider lumps, but they do not poke out of my skin (it's under my skin), so I suppose it's probably just my... flesh (or other things that are supposed to be there). I have become paranoid about it and earlier felt a spot on my arm (close to my arm pit) that could be a lump or nodule, but it could also be part of my muscle.

They most often on the chest, back, shoulders, and earlobes. Keloids are firm, rubbery lesions or shiny, fibrous nodules, and can vary from pink to flesh-colored or red to dark brown in color and usually turn unsightly. They sometimes get infected and tend to be itchy, tender, or even painful to the touch. If the keloid becomes infected, it may ulcerate. Another possibility is a mole that has changed its colour or increased in size. This might indicate some precancerous changes.

Hi, I was wondering what could cause lumps on your neck. I have had a lump on my neck that originally I thought was just a pimple not fully grown yet but it is still there after more then a week, it is painful when I move my neck around or touch it or lay on it but it doesn't seem to move. Also, as of today I've noticed a second lump on the same side of my neck but this one is just starting and it's just behind my left earlobe so you can't see it if you look at me.

I went to rub my ear this morning and noticed a small lump at the hinge of my jaw, directly under my earlobe that is painful to press on. I was just at my dentist and he didn't notice anything unusual so I'm wondering if this is not a detail issue but a gland issue. Does anyone know what this could be? And will it go away or should I see a doctor or dentist? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello. Tonight I noticed a hard, round lump about the size of a pea, maybe a little larger, on the top of my 5 year old's earlobe. It is not red, however, when I push on it he complains that it hurts. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for any information you might provide.

They are located in the exact some spot but one is on the left and the other on the right side. Just below my earlobes (not on or touching my earlobes) more like on my jaw line, there is lump. I would say it's about the size of a dime and it has some puffiness to it. They aren't sore or senitive, but annoying and are scaring my wife to death. I chewed tobacco for about 10 year or a little more and quit for almost a year now.
