ear lobe cyst/pimple...worried about infection
« on: April 19, 2010, 08:36:34 PM »
does anyone else get those pimple, cyst type things in their ear lobes? I have one in both ear lobes right now that are almost like pimples, are semi painful, and i get worried they will get infected. If they did, it would be very obvious there was something wrong, right?

Yes, I get them all the time.  You are not talking about piercing holes, right?  You mean a cyst that is not connected to a piercing?

I get them frequently and they will shrink and probably become unnoticeable or go away if you give them long enough.  The more you bother them, the greater the likelihood that they'll get infected and form scar tissue and then they could become permanent or semi-permanent lumps.  I think that cysts in the jawline, neck, and ear are hormonal in nature (males have a lot of testosterone, and if you're a female you have more testosterone for part of each month.)

Ive been worried about a  lot of health issues lately…it’s been rough. These pimples/cysts/ whatever in both my ears, a nasaly drip from allergies, sometimes I have this warmth sensation like my skin feels warmer than normal (but I’m not even really sure what I’m comparing it to), and I just get this feeling like its all related…I think it might be chalked up to allergies, but the warmth/ear thing seems out of that question. Idk

I get those when I wear my awesome cheap earrings. One thing that I have found that clears it up fairly fast for me is a triple antibiotic cream. It usually cheap and sold at any drug store. :) I hope that helps. -Heathera
