Hello,
A painless swelling just below the earlobe for a few months is most commonly a harmless (benign) condition.
In most cases, it can be due to a small lymph node, a salivary (parotid) gland swelling, or a simple skin cyst.
Although it is usually not serious, it is advisable to get it checked once by a doctor. A simple ultrasound scan can help confirm the cause. Avoid touching or pressing it frequently.
If you notice increase in size, pain, redness, or rapid change, consult an ENT specialist earlier.
