Hi.
I often feel my ears ( nervous habit ), but today when I did it I discovered a lump at the back. It's above the lobe, but just about. I was just wandering if anyone else ever had this? I often get one on my lobe by my piercing when I wear earings (think I'm allergic), but never got one where I have it.
Bit worried lol, but I googled it, and it made me think it may be the lymph node, as I have a cold/had, and I read that it usually swells on the ear when you have a cold.
Any help would be helpful. Not just comments telling me to see a doc, I'll see one if it's still ther in about a week lol.
Oh my god this is so werid I have one too, its kinda like a huge spot but more like a lump, I have another one on my other ear, Im going to the doctors on thursday about it

Are you sure its not just a bite? Try looking in a mirror (You might need to reflect a hand mirror in another mirror), and see if its red and... well... looks like a bite :p

Well tell us what they say hey Abbie :).
A bite haha? From what though? I tried looking in the mirror I just can't bend that way :lol:.
Yeah I'll tell you what they say, And I know mines not a bote cos of the spots/lumps Ive had for months
If you face a mirror (Lets call it mirror A), and hold a hand mirror behind your ear (Mirror B), then when you look in mirror A at Mirror B, then you should see the reflection of the back of your ear, and you can get a proper look at it. Like how you would check the back of your hair :p
I dunno, an insect or something?

LMao okay good idea :p I'll try that.. what's a bite look like though :s I've only ever been bitten by a dog :lol:.
Kind of small, slightly red top, and itchy
Is it painful to the touch? Does it feel hot and look red (ask someone else to look if you can't see) It could be a boil or an abcess. I ge loads of abcesses in my ears.
It might just be a lymph node like you say.
How big is it?
Well after the doctor last week, she just said it could just be like a normal spot, even though it feels lumpy to me, Im guessing its just cos of where it is. She gave me a prescription gel to use on my spots and said if the ones on my ears get worse use it on them
