A member asked:
I have a small ball in my ear lobe what is it ?? could it be due to earrings or what ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple options: This could be scar tissue from an earring or old injury, a lymph node, a cyst or any number of other possibilities. A better description of size, length of time it's been there, and whether or not it's painful would be helpful.
