I have a bump pehing my ear a little down. I didn't hit my head anywhere. what could it be?

Question

It came by itself, if I press it it has a little pain. i had other times and it went by itself, what could it be? my wife says it could depend on lymph..what do u think?

Answer 1

i have the same thing happen sometimes. i think you're wife is right and it's a swollen lymph node. i saw my doc, and he said that b/c they come up (mine or on both sides) in spring and fall, or when i have a cold, it's probably allergy-immune related. if you're really concerned, go see a doctor. and if it is more serious, then you'll be able to get it taken care of now rather than later.
