Ball like thing outer ear

2018-04-30 16:17:40
Hi. Ive no symptoms but the thing is I was just sitting and I felt that there's like a ball like thingy on my outer ear. And I dont know if its a part of the ear and Im just over thinking bt i felt its only on one side. Its immovable like an acne pimple bt doesnt hurt. Its over there. I usually overthink. Theres no pain in the ear no fever no headache just that I felt it and I started overthinking. Are there tumors occuring near ear also. Or is it just normal?

Most likely, it's a seroma, collection of fluid under the skin of the ear. It is generally harmless. But if it's bothering you, show an ENT surgeon.

If you are not having any issues with it.. U may as well forget it.. If at all you are perturbed by its presence show it to someone
