Question:

I have a lump on the back of my ear?

it was small this morning. now it's bigger and red, maybe filled with blood? what is it?


Answers:

Depends on the location.. If it is wher eyou might wear earings it might be scar tissue..

It could be anything from an infection, insect bite, to a pimple. I would watch it closely don't mess with it. See if it goes down or gets worse.

If you think it is a pimple or infection you can apply heat to the area for an hours or so, multiple times a day to draw out the puss. But don't not pick at it or "squeeze" out anything from it

If it become increasily larger, painful go see your PCP, for antibotics and possible to drain it..
