[|Human|] I have a knot on the side of my face just in front of my left ear. It has started as a small knot and now is growing larger daily - not painful per se but bothersome now because it is getting rather large. I can see it now when I look for it - no visible sign of a blemish but I can feel around the knot and it seems elongated. Any ideas what it may be?
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some lymph node enlargement, soft tissue tumor or parotid gland enlargement due to infection or tumor. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology to search the exact cause.  Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
