Is A Hard Lump In The Ear Lobe Dangerous?
I have a lump at the lower part of the ear (soft part), it have gotten bigger and it is a bit hard. but now it didn t increase in size. it hurts only when I hit it, if I don t touch it doesn t bother me. from yesterday it seems that the size went down a little, and it feels like I always need to scratch it. is it soemthign serious?
