Suggest Remedy For Painful Bump On The Back Of Ear
Have a bump on the back of my ear that is about the size of a pea and very painful. Painful to the touch, painful to sleep on. I have put warm compresses on it hoping to bring it to a head so I can "pop" it. Any other advice as to what I should do??? The pain is extreme and I am not one to complain about the pain. Will this eventually clear up on its own or will it get to the point where it will be able to be sqeezed?

Hello,
Painful bump around the ear can be an infected cyst or an infected lymph node. You should get yourself examined by an ENT specialist or send me the picture of the lesion so that I can suggest you better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka Aggarwal
