I have got a lump come up on the top of my ear it's a little tender and has got bigger over 24 hours what could it be?

Lumps in earlobe: Hi without seeing this lump the most likely scenario is called a sebaceous cyst. These cysts can get infected and be hot and red and tender. If it is not acute there is no urgency but at your next visit with your health care provider you may want to direct their attention to this.
