What's going on when there's a hard object in my earlobe?

People pay great attention to their bodies, because good health is the basic condition for all people's behaviors. Any adverse factors in the body must be discovered and dealt with in time. For example, the ears are a part that people pay close attention to, and the shape of the ears is very important to the image. But many people have a hard thing in their earlobes. What's the matter? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

1. Sebaceous cyst

Sebaceous cyst is also known as cyst. The main reason for its formation is the obstruction of the sebaceous gland excretion duct. The sebaceous gland cystic epithelium is expanded by the gradually increasing contents to form a retention cyst. Sebaceous cyst occurs slowly, is round in shape, has a clear boundary with the surrounding tissue, is soft in texture, is non-tender, and is movable. Generally no symptoms.

2. Swollen lymph nodes

Many people have experienced the growth of a hard lump inside the earlobe. Generally, this is caused by the inflammation and swelling of the lymph nodes. Normally, the lymph nodes cannot be clearly felt. When they are swollen, they feel like a hard lump, as if a hard lump has suddenly grown.

Swollen lymph nodes may be caused by surrounding diseases, such as otitis media, scalp infection, etc. The lymph nodes themselves do not need to be treated, just the primary disease. If the primary disease is unknown, you can observe it first. This possibility is small, and it is usually located on the surface of the bone and under the skin in the middle of the earlobe.

Don't pay too much attention to it and don't touch it often, otherwise it will get bigger. You can try taking some anti-inflammatory drugs to clear the heat in your body and see if it shrinks. If it doesn’t work, see a doctor and get his or her advice. Don't worry too much, most of these small hard lumps are caused by inflammation.

3. Inflammation of the earlobe

The inside of the earlobe is an area with densely distributed lymph nodes, so if there is inflammation in other parts of the body, such as inflammation caused by a fall, getting angry, etc., it will cause the lymph nodes to become inflamed and swollen, which will form a hard lump inside the earlobe. The patient can try touching the hard lump. If it moves and feels painful, then the hard lump is just swollen lymph nodes and can be cured by anti-inflammatory treatment.
