Im a 37 yr old gay white male, I have been positive since 2005, but my question is, I noticed a lump or knot under my right ear lob about two days ago, it seemed to start out small, but now it seems to have gotten a little bigger, to the touch it seems sore and maybe fluid building up in there, is this someting i need to be concerned about.
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. This is more likely an enlarged lymph node. This can be due to some intramural infection. Do you have fever? In my clinic, I first do complete oral examination & it is advisable to do FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology for confirmation of diagnosis. Consult your doctor for antibiotics & further management. Hope this helps. Wish you speedy recovery. Thanks. Regards.
