Are Bumps On Earlobe And Swelling Of Eyebrows Related?
I have had a hard bump in my earlobe for a couple weeks. I also around the same time noticed swelling between my eyebrows and what felt like fluid build up under the skin. The swelling eventually went away between my eyes but now I have the same swelling on my eyebrow. Could this all be connected?

Hi,
Noted your history of bumps on earlobe fora couple of weeks, similar one between eyebrows that settled but now on eyebrow.
The swelling on the earlobe persisting for weeks indicates one of hte following:
Chondritis with fluid collection.
Lipoma.
Sebaceous cyst.
This needs to be diagnosed by typical characteristic of each and treated most probable by surgery if it is lipoma or sebaceous cyst.
Chondritis fluid may be aspirated and compression dressing done few time and surgery only if these procedures fail.
As for the swelling in between and on eyebrow can be due to boil or so and needs to be treated as per the clinical findings.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
