Why Do I Have A Swollen, Hard And Painful Lump Near My Ear?
I had a swollen, hard and painful to the touch lump in my ear lobe. It has gone down and it very tiny, hard and not painful. But now I have a lump right in front of the ear at the hing of the jaw in face. Same kind if lump as in my ear lobe. It is swollen, and painful to the touch. Just trying to figure out what I should do.
