I have a white bump in my ear?!


Question: I have a white bump in my ear?
There is this bump in my ear... It really hurts and it is hard.
I asked my mom to check it out and she said it looks white.
Now my ear is really red and it burns.
What could this be?

Probably a bad pimple. Try putting a warm compress on it. Put a washcloth under warm water, wring it out and put it on your ear for a while. Just be careful not to use hot water or let water drip into your ear- you don't want to mess with your hearing. The heat can open up the pimple or whatever it is and let the infection drain out.
If your whole ear or a large section of it is red though, it could be a staph infection or something like that. I'd see the doctor. If it's not in an area near your ear canal you could put a little neosporin on it for tonight.



You may have a infection or ear cancer : (



instead of coming on here and asking why dont you just go to the doctor?
