Hello, I get these small acne things in my
earlobes sometimes, and they usually go
away in about a a month. About 2 - 3
years ago I got one on my earlobe that
didn't go away. It was about the size of
a pea, and not visible or painfull in any
way. A few days ago I got pissed beacuse
I worry about things, so I took a needle
to it! Now it's all infected, red, and
hurts when you touch it. I'm only
worried if it's cancer. Could it be
cancer? Everyone is telling me that it
can't be because it's infected, red,
swollen, and was acne at some point. I'm
going to the doctor on monday and am very
worried about what i'm going to hear.
Edit: not on my ear, inside.

If in doubt, get it checked out, this is
the way I feel! Yes, you should see a
Dr. About this, especially with it being
infected! It could be something minor
and then again it could be more serious, I
am no Dr. And I am unable to see it but I
would definitely get it checked out!
Sincerely,
sandy

I believe those are sebaecious cysts.
They are hard and sometimes tender to the
touch right? Yeah well I a small one in
one of my lobes. It's nothing serious.
But in your case, you did poke it with a
needle, i'd recommend you check it out.
Anywho, those cysts takes forever to
disappear and they keep reappearing.

Do you have peirced ears? I occasionally
had them in both my ears, but my left
(peirced) ear was much worse.. I describe
them more as ingrown pimples because I
noticed they could be "popped".. But they
are gone now with no traces (scaring).
