What causes a lump under the ear?
Patient: I got my ears gauged yesterday and today later in the evening a lump under my ear on the left side of my neck appeared out of nowhere. Its sore and I can cover it with the tip of my index finger. The ear lobe isnt infected. its not swollen or super sore so is it just my lymphnode gland reacting to this injury ? Doctor: Hi,It seems that there might be having enlarged post auricular lymph node.Due to ear piercing there might be having some infection.Clean prick site and apply antibiotic cream.Ok and take care.
