[|Human|] I have a lump on the back of my left ear. I ve had since puberty (so 8 years now) and I ve always been curious as to what it was. I ve poked it with a disinfected needle and no pus or anything has come out, it seemed to slide through with minimal pain at all.
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query lump at back of ear with minimal pain could be because mastitis, sebaceous cysts, throat infection, and it could be due to lymphadenopathy. Need not worry as it is mainly harmless. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. After proper inspection you can go for medicinal as well as surgical treatment. Donor chew very hard from that side if it is painful. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
