Pain in my ear cartilage

2017-07-22 05:49:44
I have been having a pain in my left ear near the top of my outer cartilage. I have a slight bump but no cut. When I press it to try and see if I can get it to pop like a zit it just feels like it moves. I don't know if it's a zit or what else it could be.
