A member asked:

Hi. i have 2 bumps on my ears. 1 is on my right ear and it feels like cartilage. the other one is smaller and on my left ear and hurts when i touch it?

Bumps: IT'S not possible to make a diagnosis without examining these bumps. It's especially important to get examined in view of the tender bump especially if there's associated redness which may be indicative of an infected cyst.
