A member asked:
I have a knot the size of a nickle behind my right ear. no pain & its been there since i was 8 yrs old. can this cause problems with hormones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The knot you are feeling is almost certainly a lipoma. These are benign, firm and sometimes attached to the underlying tissue. If large and interfering with your hair combing or general appearance, it can be removed with a local anesthesia, in-office procedure. These do not produce hormones.
