Hi all,
Please take a look at the attached picture and if you have had a similar lump before, or if you know what it is please tell me! I already have a doctor's appointment for next Monday but am a little worried. I noticed it about a week ago when I felt a slight discomfort behind my ear, and then the lump became bigger and redder. It is no longer sore, but I am not sure it is getting any smaller. 
Sorry if you find it disgusting lol. Thanks.  |

Yeah I thought it could be that, but have no idea how that would look like. No pain in my right ear, nor any infection that I know off, but who knows my immune system could be fighting something? |

Had it once and now it's gone. I'm pretty sure is not something serious. It will eventually go away. If you're still worried, get a doctor advice.

I have those quite often actually. It does hurt sometime but it'll disappear after a while. Nothing to worry.

it won't go away just like that.
you need to poke it and let all the dirty stuffs out.  anyway, it's harmless. |
