Lump, cyst, something is in my ear lobe? ?

Question

so in about the middle of my left earlobe there is some sort of hard lump type thing about the size of a pea ( a small pea)....and it doesn't hurt although once it became sore and inflamed but went back down a day or two later. i noticed it about 3/4 months ago...

so question, should i try and pop the d**n thing or what? im thinking i could just use a needle and stick it in my ear lobe but it's sorta deep. i have a super low pain tolerance so it wouldn't bother me at all.......would that be stupid ?

Answer 1

It could be a cyst or a superficial skin infection. Whatever you do, don't stick a needle into it or try to squeeze it. It's been there too long so have your primary care doctor take a look at it.
