I have something in my ear lobe?!


Question: I used to have something hard in my ear lobe and I asked my doctor about it and it was said to be harmless, but recently it split off or something into a smaller piece and another piece that's slightly swollen. Should I be concerned about it? It has been in my ear lobe for several years and it doesn't hurt, unless of course, I go and pinch it.

Anyone else have something formed in either or both of their ear lobes? Or is it just me. It's only in my left ear lobe.

Could be a Sebacous Cyst.These cysts are very common and are small sacs that occur underneath the skin, they happen when a hair follicle gets blocked.

I used to have a very small one in my left earlobe, but it went away with time. If you have a professional doctor's opinion and he says youre gonna be fine, don't sweat it.
