Dr. Franklyn Gergits answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Bump near ear: Greetings. A lump or bump next to your ear is probably a lymph node swelling. It could also be cyst. The best advice I could give would be to see your ENT doctor for an examination. An anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen may help to decrease the swelling. Good Luck.

A member asked:

Pimple thing at the opening of my ear canal. It had gotten infected/swollen and I went to urgent care and they gave me drops and it felt better/went down in sweeping but the tiny little bump is still there. No other symptoms. Can it be ear cancer?
