hi,

im really sorry if this sounds stupid i just don't want to go to the doctors if it's something silly and not worth getting checked out with covid 19 going on atm..

around a month and a half ago i noticed a lump right in front of the tragus part of my ear, it's not painful at all it's just a hard lump. when i found it i just assumed it was nothing and brushed it off, but i'm just confused as to why it's still there now and it's stayed the exact same size as when i first found it.. 

so obviously i googled (i know that you can't self diagnose with google and that google isn't always correct) my symptoms and it came up with hodgkin's lymphoma. the only symptoms i've got is the lump next to my ear and night sweats. 

my mum wants me to go to the doctors about it but i just thought i would see what other people think about it or if anyone's had the same  instead of rushing to the doctors with this world pandemic going on at the moment and finding out it's something that was not worth going to the doctors for and could have been treated at home.

thankyou so much for any replies or help i really appreciate it,

sophia
