2019-03-21 16:12:13
I have pain in both the ear lobes since a few days...Today while touching them I realized that there's a ball like lump which is moving under the skin of the ear lobe...In the right side the lump is big and left it's small and towards periphery. There's lot of pain even on touching ...Could you please tell me what exactly is the problem and a remedy for it!
