Lump on ear

Hi,

I am a 20 year old female and I am a little bit worried as I have recently discovered a painful lump on the tragus/front part of my ear. I have also been experiencing some ringing and muffled hearing in this ear. I am not sure what this is but I have googled it and it is telling me the worst. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I go to the doctor's? 

  • Hello AnnaM78

    I'm sorry to hear that you have some health concerns at the moment. Unfortunately we know many people turn to the internet searching for health advice and what most often happens is they don't find answers and instead are left feeling more anxious. 

    As you've not seen your GP about your symptoms it would seem sensible to make an appointment to get these checked. Your GP will be best placed to offer you some reassurance and arrange any treatment or tests that may be appropriate. 

    I hope things settle for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
