What Causes Dizziness And Lump On Ear?

Hi! I have a question. I've been feeling lightheaded, have had body aches and I just noticed a lump on my right ear (don't know if this is related or not). I haven't gone to my primary dr because he is on vacation. Do you have an idea of what i might have? Thanks!

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.

Lump in right ear is not normal condition.
You can consult other ENT surgeon for that if your doc not available.

If throbbing pain associated then it could be abscess like infective condition and it can lead reffered headache ...
For that antibiotic needed...

Second it could be any benign soft tissue tumour....
Glomus tumour also can occur in ear....

If needed FNAC needs to be taken for proper diagnosis...

But physical examination will reveal about exact which investigation needs and accordingly treatment.

Take care.
