I have a small lump on what I think is called the Crural of Anthihelix (where my ear meets my scalp. It isn t red or discolored in any way and it doesn t hurt unless I touch it. It is however, very sensitive to the touch. Some times it hurts more than other times. I first noticed it about 3 months ago. Should I have a doctor take a look at it? Could it be something serious? Thank you!
Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Cause and plan of Treatment-In my opinion on the given data, you seem to have lymphadenitis in post-auricular nodes and seem to have it for last 3 myths. It does not appear to be mastitis as you don't have any ear symptoms in the recent past. Scalp infection or infestation needs to be treated from ER Dermatologist.Treatment-would be-anti-inflammatory / antibiotics for 5 days period would resolve it.Don't guess more. I would advise ER Surgeon Consultation to avoid further complications with it. Hope this would resolve your issues. Act fast. So keep cool and Consult your ER Surgeon, if need be, who would treat it accordingly. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to Chat Doctor and be comfortable to resolve your health issues. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good reviews and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.
