Question 1

my 3 year old son has little red spots kind of  blochy on his ear lobe what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell: There are many skin changes that he could have, though a few common ones are seborrheic dermatitis and eczema, both of which are easily treated skin problems. Your best bet, though, is to have your child's doctor take a look to know for sure what treatment will work.

Question 2

my husband had a small spot frozen off from his ear lobe. now there is a white thing sticking out of his ear. he just noticed it. what now?

Accepted Answer

Ear lobe spot: Clearly, this should be evaluated by the physician who froze the original spot on the earlobe. For now, this does not seem to be an emergency. If you are really concerned right now, you might want to establish an online visit using HealthTap so a physician could actually SEE the lesion in question. I would be happy to see him, even this evening, if you would like.

Question 3

i have got this bump thing on the bottom of my ear lobe i can feel it nesr the piercing spot seems like a pimple but won't pop if i try to pop it?

Accepted Answer

Scar tissue: Most likely if not red or tender (try not to squeeze!)  If it gets larger or red it may need to be seen by a doctor, meanwhile wash gently, pat dry and keep hair clean.  A pimple will clear in a few days.

Question 4

ive been having a fullness in the ear for a week. dr confirmed that there is no fluid in my ear. i also have a sore spot behind my left ear lobe that is tender the touch. sound like occipital neuralgia?

Accepted Answer

: Occipital neuralgia causes clear cut discomfort at the base of the neck with radiation up the scalp behind the ear.  Blockage of the eustachian tube at the back of the nose caused by nasal congestion or polyps can cause blocked ear sensation. I recommend a thorough evaluation by an ENT specialist for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

Question 5

pain inside right head middle of right lobe body stiffness seeing spots low pulse cold skin tired weakness it's happend 7or 8 times b4 any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Maybe anxiety: You have lots of generalized symptoms which sound like they stem from anxiety and depression.  See a doctor to rule out a virus, but if this has been recurrent it is time to get therapy. You may have difficulties recognizing stress and coping with what you need to be doing about it.  Sometimes it is easier to to focus on things that will not solve the actual problems.

Question 6

my husband had a head injury in 2008 & since has had seizures & blackouts he's had mri's which show bright spots on the frontal lobe is this linked?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info.: Why did he have the head injury?  Was it the first seizure? Is there a personal or family history of epilepsy?  What do you mean by blackouts?  Does he drink excessive alcohol?  What information is the neurologist giving you?  What did the doctor who ordered the MRI tell you?  This one is best dealt with by the treating physicians.  Sorry, i can be of little help.

Question 7

why causes a left ear lobe to hurt?

Accepted Answer

Something not on RT.: Don' have a clue, except if it's only on the left something on the left is causing it to hurt.

Question 8

ear lobe swollen don't wear earrings what can it be ?should i be worried ? what can cause it?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Sometimes cysts, infections, keloids can develop in ears. A doctor would have to see your ear or in person to be more accurate. Good luck and please see your doctor for more answers.

Question 9

what causes rash around the ear lobes babies?

Accepted Answer

Possible eczema: Eczema usually starts behind the crease of the earlobe and then to the earlobe. Other rashes are possible. It's hard to diagnose rash without seeing patient.

Question 10

i have pain in both ear lobes what causes this ?

Accepted Answer

General check up: I will recommend a general check up with your PCP, he/she will conduct preliminary evaluation and  refer you to specialist if need be. Your symptoms are non-specific and may or may not be serious.
