How Can A Small Lump Above The Ear Be Treated?

A few months ago in college, I noticed that there was a small bump above my ear that was hurting. Thinking it was a zit or pimple, I applied a warm wash cloth over the span of a couple days. It was swelling less and it didn t hurt, so I thought nothing of it. A few weeks later, I checked and it was still there, but causing no pain. The small bump is still there, above my ear right about where my glasses rest. Should I go see a doctor as soon as possible?

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some benign cystic lesion like keratinous cyst. You should go for examination and excision of lump if required. However it is not an urgent or emergency condition. You can consult your doctor at your ease.
