Weird lump on ear lobe... better see a doctor

[alva]

I's some kind of infected hair sack (No idea, how to explain this is english ) ,where skin has grown over.

It's nothing to worry about, but sometimes they can get quite big. I had one cut away a couple of weeks ago, takes about 10 min (local anasthetic).

Most people have at least one or two

For warts, there's another do-it-yourself treatment.

Buy a refill can for butane cigarette lighters, and use a jet of butane to freeze the wart. Warts can't survive intense cold as well as normal flesh can.

An earlobe is an odd place for a wart though. You have a girfriend who fondles your ears, Ferengi-style?

It could be an alien parastic organism which is about to take over the world.

Or it could be a cyst

What the hell in an ingrown hair?

[spartak]

It could be a blocked lymph node - it'll go away if you squeeze it.

Nice to have known you siro...

[alva]

TAZ is right, but they usally don't go away by themselves. After a while , they will return.

ROFLMAO

And I don't even know what that suggests.

[Sirotnikov]

PAIKTIS - that's mean!

[SlowwHand]

Not to worry. That "weird lump", is just your head.

I had that exact thing happen and assumed it was some nasty cyst. I kept piercing my lobe all the way through with a needle hoping to pop it but there was evidently nothing concentrated there

It eventually went away for me. Obviously if it breaks through the skin as a white bubble you'll know to get antibiotics

[SlowwHand]

Can you get syph on your ears?

[Zylka]

It

Waaaaiiit a second! Siro's a teenager, right?

What's on your earlobe, Siro, is what's thechnically known as a "spot" or "pimple" caused by the acne bacteria. You know how some spots are buried deeper in the skin and are almost impossible to squeeze? Well, all spots on your earlobe are like this, and just like deep-buried facial acne spots they can sometimes be small and painless, sometimes larger, more irritated and with more pus inside making it harder.

I had at least one really irritating one in my teens, and dozens of small ones.
