Is There Anything To Worry About The Fluid Filled Lump Above Right Ear Which Is Getting Bigger In Size?

I have a soft fluid filled lump just above my right ear in line with my temple. Is this something to be concerned about? I have over the months realized that it is totally pain free and it does tend to get bigger when I fiddle with it. Could you suggest anything or should I be concerned about this? Thank you. Daniel

Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I had read your query regarding a fluid filled lump above the right ear and it is painless.

Your clinical history favors a cystic lump over your temple , may be most likely Sebaceous cyst. But this actually needs a clinical examination by your doctor and necessary investigations to confirm the diagnosis, after that one may plan for it's removal or treatment.

Regards.
