My son has a large bump on the inside of his ear, it has a head, can i just pop it?

Ear bump: No. I recommend that the bump be diagnosed by his doctor first before you do anything. It may not need to be popped after all. More importantly, popping it may cause secondary bacterial infection tha can spread ot the rest of the body.
