Reason For Liquid-filled, Painful Lump On Ear Flap?

I have a small soft lump (size of pea) on the top part of the pinna (Ear flap) it's seems liquid filled and soft and squishy to the touch! It is a little painful. I have recently had a tooth abscess on both left and right bottom wisdom teeth, if that helps at all! What could this be?

Hi,

Thanks for writing to HCM.

That could be a lipoma but better show it to a surgeon for a physical examination and its excision if needed.

Its not related to your dental condition.
