my daughter was born with a lump/nodule, hard like cartilage, near the upper curve of her ear. its not actually on her ear but right next to it, in fact you can see it looking at her from the front. She is now 7 years old and it has never changed. what is it?
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. This could be a congenital benign cyst, which after a thorough clinical examination and related investigations like an FNAC, could be taken out and sent for a histopathology study (excision biopsy). This should cure the problem as most such lumps in this region would come out to be benign. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your daughters' problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
