Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Nodes Near The Ear
I have a sore nodule in front of my left ear. It feels oblong , maybe an inch or a little less, just noticed this afternoon. Didn t notice when I applied makeup this morning. I thought mosquito bite at first but it doesn t feel like that. It s more under the skin than on the surface

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The small sore nodule may not be a cause for concern yet since no other associated symptoms.It could be due to skin irritation/insect bite, acne or a lymph node.I will suggest you avoid touching it and observe.If it increases in size or persist and becomes painful, you rake an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen, then see your Doctor if no change.
Hope this will help you
Regards
