I have a knot on the inside of my right ear is it cancer?

Not really..: Cancer diagnosis is made after very specific blood and lab test. Sometimes a knot is just a local inflammation or a small skin gland cyst.

See your doctor asap: A doctor would need to examine you to determine what the lump is.
