Hi,Thanks for the query to HCM.

-I studied your query in depth and understood your concerns.
-Cause and Treatment-of the bump in left ear-
-In your case the cause mostly is - lymphadenitis with Scalp infection with ? TB lymphadenitis-for last 3 mths.
-Anxiety and infection on the face and scalp has made you weak and depressed.
Advise-
-I would advise IGRA for latent TB infection causing all this problem/ ESR/CBC.
-Consult a physician who would treat it with proper drugs,as the antibiotics havent worked in your case.
This would help you to plan treatment with your doctor.
Don't worry and things will settle
Hope this would resolve your query.
