Q: Tiny Lump Below Earlobe

asked by: orodreth on February 20th, 2007

I have a small lump (maybe just a bit smaller than a pea) just below one of my earlobes. I have recently noticed it.
It isn't painful at all. What could this be? Is it serious?

It is probably a lymph node. Keep an eye on it. If it gets bigger you will need to go see a doctor.

what was it?

I have a tiny smaller than pea sized lump just under my earlobe, in the crevice between earlobe and jaw. What did yours turn out to be? I'm deciding weather to go see a doctor.
