What Could Black Bumps On Earlobe Suggest?
a week or so ago i felt a small bump behind my earlobe. It was sore to the touch and I assumed it was a pimple or something. It got a bit more painful and got a little bit bigger. It s almost squishy soft to the touch. I had my BF look and he said oh my god !! Go to the doctor and now I m freaked out. He said it is yellow and black back there and looks like a dime size. What is it?

Hello,
It may be a rash or boil with crusting or lymphadenopathy. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Consult with your ENT specialist or dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
