What Causes Painless Lump Infront Of The Ears?
Hi a day ago i found a pea sized lump in front of my left ear and right before my jaw it is hard painless unless i touch it. My family thinks its a cyst. I also had a stomach virus a couple weeks before so i dont know if that has anything to do wiith it. Thank you.

Welcome to health care magic.
1.Pain less tiny lump in from of the ear - the possible cause will be sebaceous cyst. generally needs to monitored unless causing any discomfort.
2.They occurs when the gland blocks and causing the collection with in - usually take good time ( years ) to increase in the size.
3.In this case the i would recommend you not to disturb the lump, do not squeeze, press or scratch - in that way you will complicate the process.
4.There is no relation with the stomach symptoms you are facing, a very tiny possibility is enlarged lymph nodes due to stomach cause - but lump characterisation does not fit there.
5.If any discomfort get it examined and take needful actions accordingly. Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask do not hesitate to ask.
