Lump in my earlobe?

[chiwawa626]

I have a lump in my earlobe. It feels about 2-2.5mm in diamiter, its round i think. and its hard and it hurts when u squeeze it. What is it? Should i go see a doctor?

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Is your ear pierced?

 

[Windogg]

I got one in my ear when my girlfriend bit me there too hard. I was about the same size as your and hurt when squeezed. Dunno what it was but it went away after a few weeks.

Actually that's normal, I've gotten one or two of those and my ears arent pierced. Its annoying as hell though cause it hurts. It'll go away if you stop thinking about it and touching it.

No not pierced, hmm... i dunno ive known of it for a week. I remember sumthing similar when i was younger, and i think it sorta shrank or went away back then....but its been buggin me and i keep touching it.

I get some of those occasionally too - and they're not around my piercings.
They go away, but if it gets worse or doesn't go away you might wanna see a doc. Just to make sure.

I get those every once in a while and they do hurt if you touch it. I just wrote it off as a pimple in a weird spot.

LOL and you believed that???

depends, i'd go see a doctor depending on what the actual problem is.

i thought it could be some cartilage damage, but since it comes and goes, it's not that....

if it is a pimple, which do hurt when you squeeze it if it gets big enough, it'll go away.

--

note to readers, clean your ears, inside (not the canal really), out...

inside: get a towel or cotton ball or cotton swab, with soap and water (or rubbing alcohol) dampen it, and wipe. don't soak, because you have to apply some pressure, and you don't want stuff going into the canal.

if you do want to clean your canal, be very careful, use a cotton swab, and dampen it with rubbing alcohol. squeeze it a little to remove excess liquid, and wipe the inside gently. yeah, it gets dirty in there, and don't stick it in, just like swirl around the opening. DON'T STICK IT IN!!!

Mday lives by this piece of advice religiously

its just a pimple dude.

 

[JayPatel]

ive got both my ears pierced and i occasionally get this as well..couple of days and its gone.

 

[THELAIR]

yes you can get internal &quot;pimples&quot; in your skin that never surfice to form a white or black head. There is a name for this, i forget.

Ive had this before in my earlobe and it was just a pimple.

 

[stonerdave]

I get these once in a while. I don't know if it's a pimple, I always thought they were called cysts. The defintion is at http://www.graylab.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?query=cyst. Anyone know for sure?

They're harmless, in your earlobe anyway.

The fact that this scares you, scares me

 

[KameLeon]

Yep, I get these internal lumps in my earlobe too sometimes. It goes away after a few days by itself though. Nothing to worry about..

 

[Azraele]

I would think that it will go away on its own as long as you don't fool with it too much. If it doesn't, then get it checked by a doc. Just to be on the safe side. Or you can call your doc and ask it he/she feels that you need to come in and get it checked out. If your doc says it's nothing to worry about, then that's a big load off your mind and no need to worry.

 

[Preyhunter]

I would go to the doctor and have it checked out right away. It could be displaced breast cancer.

Or not...

 

[loup garou]

Dammit! I've got one of those right now too. They're annoying as hell, because I can't stop fooling with it. I've gotten them before too. Some people tell me they're zits, some tell me they're cysts. Anyways, nothing to really worry about. If I can just leave the damn thing alone, it'll go away.


Oh yeah, thanks alot for reminding me...I had forgotten about mine and it was starting to go away...now I'm touching it again! :|

Oh man, did that come out bad!

 

[ArkAoss]

shoot, I'm pretty sure its a funky pimple, I get em sometimes too, hurts like a mother.

Try scrubbing behind the ears, and getting the hair trimmed away from the ear's if you got greasy hair.

 

[chiwawa626]

Cyst u say? My cousin had a cyst on his wrist (no rhyme intended) and he showed the doctor and they said it will eventyally go away, but u could smash it with a book....heh i was just thinking bout that, heh get my SAT book and my fat ass dictionary and i could pop it lol!....
