Ear Lumps & Bumps
What are Ear Lumps & Bumps?
The external ear (also known as pinna) is made up of mostly skin and cartilage. Common lumps on the ear include cyst (a sac of oil), keloid (overgrowth of scar tissue) and pseudocyst (collection of water in the ear cartilage). Occasionally, a lump in the ear may be due to skin cancer (Figures 1a-f)
