Lump in front of ear

I was just cleaning out my ears (I know, gross) and I noticed that right where my top jaw meats my bottom jaw is a rather large lump.. maybe the size of a 2p in diameter? It doesn't hurt unless I massage it and doesn't seem to move at all. Not the same on my left side at all, its flat on that side so I don't feel like it is supposed to be there... would you recommend getting it checked out?

  • Am kinda having the same stuff.

    Though I had the node since very young and never bothered me to be honest ! Mine is tender, painless but moves well under the skin, like I could pass my finger under it (I know gross) but since maybe February/March it has gone double sized and so am doing a check in July finally ( why does it happen during this virus crisis !!) could be due to stress maybe... will see ! 

    Obviously am pretty anxious about it but for peace of mind I do a check ! 

  • Yeah mine doesn't move and its quite tender to touch but I think it's cause I've been messing with it. I'm gonna ring the docs in the morning and hopefully I'll get it checked out. It hurts more today and I'm struggling to open my jaw

  • I have same only one side and other side is flat ! It could be caused also by anything like infection to a teeth or infection somewhere else that your body is busy is fighting without you knowing - or anything else ! yes just stop touching it :) !

    And forget about it if you can and get checked by your doctor and like if it doesn’t go like me just get it checked with a referral ! Think positive !
