What should I do if there is a hard lump inside my ear?

The back of a normal person's ear root is very smooth without any lumps or bumps. However, in life, some people have a hard lump in their ear root, and this symptom will produce a severe tingling sensation that is unbearable. Many patients think that it is caused by a disease that is difficult to treat, so they are very panic. In fact, as long as the cause is found and symptomatic treatment is given, recovery will soon occur. So what should I do if there is a hard lump in the ear root?

First, what should I do if a hard lump grows inside the base of my ear? The base of the human ear is where a large number of lymph nodes gather, and the lymph nodes are our body's detoxification system, which are in every corner of our body. When we are affected by disease, our immunity decreases, causing the lymph nodes to become inflamed and swollen. When they gather together, a small bag will appear.

Second, the cause of lymphadenopathy is infectious diseases, lack of attention to hygiene, and irregular diet. As long as we develop good living habits, maintain a good attitude, have healthy and good eating habits, and eat less spicy and irritating foods, we can prevent it. The second possibility is that if you don’t feel any pain when you touch it, then it is a sebaceous cyst, which is mainly caused by the obstruction of the sebaceous gland excretion duct. In this case, we just need to keep the skin clean and keep the sebaceous gland opening unobstructed to facilitate the excretion of secretions. Don't squeeze it!

What should I do if a hard lump grows inside the ear? Another situation is furuncle, which is called folliculitis in Western medicine. When the hair follicles are invaded by bacteria, redness, swelling, burning sensation and pain will appear. Generally, it will fester after a few days, and the disease will heal after the pus is discharged. Don't touch it with your hands, as it will cause bacterial infection. You can buy some mupirocin ointment, fusidic acid ointment or 2% iodine tincture for external application, or take some anti-inflammatory drugs. Keep a regular schedule, pay attention to hygiene, and don't forget behind the ears when wiping your face. Of course, when other inflammations occur in your body, it will also cause a lump to grow behind the ear. If it is not serious, you can just take some anti-inflammatory drugs yourself, but if it is very serious, you must go to the hospital for examination. You cannot treat it yourself at home, as this will only aggravate the condition.
