Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The lump is most likely a benign cyst and it will go away without treatment.
Tou should see a doctor if the cyst gets large, causes you pain, or affects your hearing.
You should also watch its color.
If the color begins to change, it may be infected.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
