How To Treat A Painful Hard Lump In The Ear?
I have a hard bump in the entry of my auditory canal on my right ear. It's very painful and is also causing discomfort on my jaw joint. The beginning process was a pimple which when I popped it provided me with a short relief. However, about 2 days later was when I noticed the hard bump. And then 1 day later or yesterday is when I began to feel the pain. Please tellme what I should do?
