A member asked:

I have like a tiny lump/spot behind my ear on my earlobe ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Uncertain : this depends on the consistency of this tiny spot. Your physician would consider whether his fat, cartilage, or some other type of nodule. It depends on your total health status. If not completely clear your physician may have you see a dermatologist
