 Posted: 04/27/08 - 07:41 Post subject: hard lump on jaw/buckle of face |
  |
|
I think we have a couple different things going on in this message stream. Lymph nodes ... and something else.
I went to the doctor about a pea-sized lump on my face kindof in front of my ear. The plastic surgeon said it was on the "buckle" of my jaw. I happened to be getting an MRI for my neck so they took a peek during the MRI. Mine was a fatty tumor. No risk, but it has gotten bigger, probably the size of a nickle now five years later.
The problem with the location of that is the plastic surgeon told me they can cut them out (and they usually are not anything to worry about, but they test them to see if they are) but that position on your face is really tricky and you could risk losing some of your muscle movement in your face and eye area. hence, i've left mine alone.
Get it checked. It's probably not anything to worry about --- but let the pro's tell you that. |

Wow...I just found this knot on my jaw in front of my ear and get online to see if anyone else has had the same problem and I feel much better after reading all the posts. Just for safe measure I'm going to call my doc and ask him what he thinks but it sounds like it may be nothing.

Wow, I have this same problem!
I was doing a google search for "lump under ear" and came across this.
Nice to know I'm not alone. 
Yeah, mine is not that big, and it's RIGHT at the juncture of my earlobe and jaw.
My immediate fear is "cancer" (even though i'm young and have no reason to think that).
Mine is not painful, so I don't think it's a pimple or cyst... although, as the OP mentions, it is more painful now that I can't stop messing with it.
I guess if it's this common, it's probably nothing serious.
i'll just wait and see what happens.
Sometimes these things go away on their own.\Cheers. |

| Ok so Ive had the exact same thing, a small lump behind and in front of my ear lobe which hurts a little and is not visible on skin, its grown over the past few days and become more painful but I feelbetter after reading this. I will be asking my doctor about it in 2 hours so I will post up what my doctor says since everyone is so interested lol |

| I'm a little more at ease after reading the related posts. I realised two days ago that there was a little bump (dime size or so) just in front of my earlobe, at the top of my jawbone, and that it was somewhat tender and painful, i let it to till this morning, hoping that it would go away, only to notice it got even bigger, swelling the side of my face slightly, and even making the side of my eye bloodshot. I'm unsure where lymph nodes are located, but i've had problems that may be related, specifically a pain in the back of my skull that occurs on occasions when i laugh. |

I messed with it: pressed on it, moved it around...and, of course, it hurts a bit more, or at the most, I can feel it now that I've messed with it. It is deep under the skin, feels like its in the muscle. I have a friend who has non-cancerous tumors as small painful lumps in her lower back. Could this be something like that?
Does anyone know what this could be? |
