Q: Bump On Earlobe

Hello everyone, i'm new here and just want to ask a question that i'm worried about.

A few days ago I felt this bump right where the ear attactches to the neck, the bump is on the ear just below the earlobe and feels hard when squished. I'm quite paranoid and have become worried, can anyone think what it could be? Also, i'm 18 if that helps.

I've read around and learned it could be a cyst, could that be true? Thanks

Yeah I get that sometimes too! I thought it was an ear infection due to touching my piercing constantly. So I took my ear-ring off and I still get it. I have tried to pop one several times and one point, it pussed out yellow substance along with clear fluid and blood, similar to acne. I'm not totally sure if this is a sabaecious cyst, but it was pretty hard and it hurts to the touch.
