A member asked:
I have a lump on my ear that was not there until recently after i got new earrings. no pain, no smell, its just there. what is it?

Likely lymph node: You are likely have a reaction to the new earrings and you are noticing a reactive lymph node. Try discontinuing the new jewelry and seeing if it goes away. If not, go see a doctor.
