A member asked:
Are their any blood vessels near the tragus part of the ear? i feel a swollen lump in that area could it be an anurysm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: You are probably feeling a swollen lymph node. If you are sick it is related. If you are not and it hasn't gone down you should be checked out. While of course there are blood vessels there. It is quite unlikely that you have an aneurysm. You doctor's examination will help figure it out.
