Ok, so sense about December i have had this weird lump that feels like air on my ear lobe....i do have earrings and when i noticed it really starting to hurt was when i havent had my earring in for a while and i had recently put one in and it was HUGE and rubbing all against my earring....i am very concerned on what it is and what caused it. i have read other pages and have heard that it is either an infection or a tumor. How do i know if it is or is not a tumor? I am very concerned because my father very recently just had an anyerism. So please if someone knows what it is or how it happend please respond as soon as possible
