Tiny lump next to tragus of left ear

2025-09-02 04:35:27
I have a small, hard lump on the tragus of my left ear. This is the small piece of cartilage right in front of the ear canal. I noticed it yesterday. It causes a feeling of very mild discomfort, and the pain increases when I press on it. What could this be, and what is the appropriate course of action: should I consult an ENT specialist or a general surgeon?
