Abscess on earlobe
Common Questions and Answers about Abscess on earlobe
abscess
A lump that feels warm and is present on the side of the face (underneath where the earlobe attached to my face) could be a swollen lymph node or a chronically inflamed parotid gland or a parotid abscess (localized collection of pus) or an abscess not involving the parotid gland.
This may need to be drained, treated with antibiotics and you must consult a doctor immediately. Take care!
Lump behind the ear could be an abscess, folliculitis (hair follicle infection), lipoma (localized collection of fat), a cyst, lymph node or a neurofibroma (localized harmless swelling in of nerve and connective tissue). Since there is pain on pressing only chances of abscess and hair root infection are less.
Still a diagnosis cannot be confirmed on net. Its good you are seeing your doctor on Thursday. Take care!
m a 24 year old female-A couple of months ago I woke up with a painful pea to marble sized lump under the skin on my ear. It is located right where my ear connects to my head, on the bottom. Like if I were to pull my earlobe away from my head, it is in that "flap" of skin. Because it was painful and hard, I assumed it was a boil as I have had these in the past. I treated it with warm washclothes and heating pads, but the lump never softened or drained, however, the pain did go away.
Hi! You probably have a boil or abscess on your ear lobe. Neck lymph nodes can be the result of tonsillitis, pharyngitis (infection of upper throat), infection in mouth, caries in tooth, internal ear infection, outer ear infection, eczema, dermatitis, dandruff, breast cancer, fungal infection, other cancers like lymphoma etc. If you had flu like symptoms initially then it could be due to infectious mononucleosis too. In your case in all probability it is the outer ear infection.
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.
Almost a week ago i woke up with a small bump on the back of my earlobe where the cart ledge is. It was sore for about 3 days, its not sore anymore but still there. It looks to be red when i take a picture with the camera. I stress easily so its been freaking me out. Could it be a bug bite or a cyst ?
i have in the past had a bump appear, only to shrink and harden and eventualy i will forget about it, i had one on my upper eyelid. back to the ear bump, physicaly i feel fine, the bump feels a little warm when i mess with it. i have recently used a foaming earwax remover, i dont know if that matters.
I have some small red splotches on my earlobe that don’t itch or bother me. I noticed them when I was washing my face. Haven’t had any sort of trauma to the area except I found some old earrings that were silver (not sure if real silver or not), and it started to itch after a bit so I removed them. I’ve had my ears pierced for almost 23 years so it’s not anything fresh.
There is also a small bump on the back of it. I thought it was a pimple and popped it but it kind of itches now.
is there any glue or lotion which can help me with my stretched or enlarged earring holes on the verge of tearing. i have heard a lot about ear lobe repairs . what is it all about how far is the success rate?
Hi. I have swollen earlobe filled with blood and pus. And my earlobe is painful when I put pressure on it. It has been there for more than two weeks. And I have been consistently having fever which I don't realize is caused by the infected earlobe. But I managed to realize that my fever is due to the infected ear lobe and I am taking antibiotics now. My question are:
a) can it be dangerous for leaving it for two weeks?
Every once in a while, my ear will become red, warm and very itchy for about a day. Afterwards, a small hardened area usually on the bottom of the earlobe will appear that is itchy (but significantly less) to the touch. It is somewhat sensitive and seems to go away after awhile, maybe a week or so. This happens every several months. I have my ears pierced, and will get a small infection every so often. Any ideas?
2) A guy sucked my earlobe and my earlobe was already bleeding a bit (my earlobe always bleeds due to some allergie rash). Was i at any risk for any std or hiv ? I mean what if his mouth or tounge was bleeding and our bloods mixed together (my earlobe and his mouth), any STD or hiv ?
Thanks a lot for your help, i really need it, i knew that my first sexual experience will put me in a lot of worries.
I'm developing a slight crease in my left ear lobe but then again, I'm getting older and I tend to sleep on my left side. To me that equals a wrinkle.
Judging by your description, it is most likely a fistula which is a tract that forms from the abscess of your infected tooth that escapes out to the gums. As long as the fistula in intact, your abscess can drain and slow down the spread of the abscess but if the fistula closes up, the abscess can spread rapidly through your face or neck area.
I would recommend seeing a dentist and getting treatment started.
Okay, so for years I've had this hard ball INSIDE my earlobe. One time I punctured the skin with a needle (more than a year ago), and pus and blood came pouring out. Interesting note, the pus had a very pungent, almost ammonia-like odor. My ear was absolutely deflated for awhile, and I was happy.
Since then, the ball of pus has grown back. I finally built up the nerve to poke it again. Couldn't go deep enough. Just made it bigger and painful.
What is it?

My hearing worsens when I bite down on something or I am eating. When I pull my earlobe down, it does improve drastically but when I let go of my earlobe it goes back to being muffled.
I really need help with this issue and I need to know if it is something I need to specifically go to a doctor for.
Hmm this isn't a pimple...it's inside the earlobe, there is no lump on the outside of it, from just looking at it you wouldn't see it, a pimple is usually at the surface of the skin yes? this isn't...
Around 1 year ago a huge pus filled pimple appeared on my penis. I popped it and another one appeared on the same area after a month and I popped it too. But now another huge pimple appeared, so this time I went to a doctor and ge told me that it's a sebacious cyst and there's no need to worry. He gave me some medications and also a gel to apply on it. So I took the medications and decided not to pop it. But now it became hard inside and a whitish line grew from that hardend cyst.
my one-year old girl has a herpess-like small marks on her earlobe. First, i thouth she had torn it off by pulling as she always does the thing. now that 3 days have passed it started to look as herpess more. my question is can i use any anti-herpess medications, say zovirax, with the baby of her age?
3 days ago I competed in a bicycle race (not sure if this is connected to my situation) and a few hours after the event I noticed a small lump on my buttocks quite close to my anus. It was soar to the touch but otherwise no bother. The next morning when I woke up it doubled in sized. By the afternoon it grew to about 2 inches in length and 1 inch wide. It is firm to the touch and seems to be located a little bit under my skin but not so deep that I can not feel it well.
ve picked up cycling about 40-50 miles per week along with strenuous training and noticed a solo abscess on my labia after a cycle session where I had tight fitting underwear. I popped the abscess and some white fluid came out, and it's still raised but steadily getting smaller with neosporin application. I have never had sex and the last time oral happened was late 2013.
