Small ear lump?

Posted , 3 users are following.

im 17 y.o., female, and when i insert my finger in my left ear i can feel a small lump(?) right where the finger stops, its not hard but not soft either. i dont have any other symptoms and it doesn't bring me any discomfort but im kinda concerned. am i dying? or could that be just my ear structure?

    If it doesnt cause any pain or discomfort and your hearing is OK then its probably part of the cartilage of your ears structure. No you are not dying.Try to stop checking on the lump with your finger . If you got any earache, pain, discomfort or hearing loss then see your doctor, but it sounds quite normal.
