Suggest Treatment Lumps On Ear

Hi I'm 28 years old 5 foot 7 inches tall weigh about 125 and am female I have a little bit of acne nothing horrible tho and I have a red lump that is about the size of an almond in front of my left ear (kind of between the top of my jawbone & ear). It is a little mushy feeling when i push on it and kind of rolls when i push up or down on it. I poked it w/ an alcohol cleaned needle, blood and this oil like stuff comes out when I sqeezed it. It isn't really painful. What is this & should I be concerned?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi I am Fahim and I will help you with your problem

I have gone through your question. I appears to be a sebaceous cyst or lipoma. Both can be left as such if they are not very big and not bothering you much. Surgical excision is the treatment, in which the lump is removed and skin closed the non-absorb-able sutures. The wound heals in about 5 days time and stitches removed on 5th day. You need to see a general surgeon, who after clinical examination will make a diagnosis and then will guide you appropriately.

I hope my answer will help you. Do rate it, if you like it.
Regards
