A member asked:
I have a hard pimple (no colour) on my outer ear near my ear canal. the first days it was painful now it's not. i have it for a week. should i worry?

Don't worry: It sounds like you have a small cyst. Do no worry but try applying some warm compresses to it. Put warm water on a washcloth and hold it to your ear a couple times a day. It should resolve on its own in a week or two. If it does not, or if it enlarges see your doctor for further evaluation.
