Suggest Treatment For Lump On Earlobe
I have had a little lump on the area where your earlobe meets your face/jaw I guess for a few months now and I just assumed it was an acne bump. But as of the past few days Ive been feeling very fatigued with neck pain and a feeling of heaviness in my ear, Ive also had a dull headache in the back left side of my head. Im now fearful this could be an aneurysm,the lump is not red or secreting anything and its slightly hard. I just want to know is this a medical emergency or do I have time to create an appointment to speak to my gp?

Hi
Welcome to hcm
This is not an emergency at all but you should see your ENT surgeon and not gp. You must be having ear infection that caused enlargement of lymph node near ear lobe. The lump per say doesnot require any treatment but causattive factor needs to be treated. ENT surgeon can examine and do needful.
