Dear Community -

I have had this bump on the antihelix (I think thats the right name!!) of my ear for about a year.

It hasn't grown, is non-painful and is hard.

I am of course worried it could be something serious, but on the other hand it does seem very uniform in shape (I'm under the impression that most things like cancer do not look like that and they'd grow..?).

I am 31 years old and in generally good health.

Do you have any ideas of what this is - I'm constantly worried about it.

Thank you in advance.!

    Andrew, its probably a cyst . Do see your doctor or a dermatologist. They can be removed.
