Dude I have some kind of lump in my ear lobe. It doesn't hurt when I leave it alone but it's pretty tender. It seems to be getting smaller though so I'm just leaving it alone for now...

what it could be
1) lymph node
2) blister
3) boil
4) genetic mutation
5) pimple
6) trapped air under a healed cut
7) shrapnel, object
what to do
1) dunno
2) do not pick at it, then it will pop. if it pops, exploding with blister fluid, then don't remove the blister skin, it acts as a natural bandage.
3) clean the area regularly
4) go see a doctor
5) apply acne cream and rinse area with clean water
6) see a doctor if it continues to be painful
7) see a doctor or surgeon

When I had this happen I had these bumps appear on the sides of my neck and along my hip > groin area as well. It was my lymphatic system filling up with crap because I had mono. Go get checked out by a doc

Edit: next > neck

it could be gynecomastia, which in extreme cases is like male breasts, but in most people it's just a bumpy thing under the skin anywhere from the chest to the arm pit and it hurts and is irritating. On top of all the other things that have been suggested

always do see a doctor though!

it hurting is GOOD thing, means it's not cancer

I had the exact thing happen to me back in college. And it really freaked my out. Turned out it was an ingrown hair that grew into a cyst. Had it removed surgically no big deal.

Changes are its nothing major at all... so dont worry... but get it checked out.

Definitely see a doctor, but it's more likely an infection. Are you feeling sick otherwise?

I have a buddy who had a lump under his armpit and it turned out to be an STD. This is one dude and one story, but an STD is a lot better than some of the alternatives! Any unprotected sex?

Aren't most STDs localized to specific areas? What STD affects the armpit?

First thing that I pictured was like a self breast exam where they're feeling for lumps on their tits, but instead reach over under their armpit

YOU SIR HAVE CANCER

just kidding, i'm not an expert, go get it checked out bruh.

if it makes you feel any better

one of my family members has one of those when she reached middle age. The doctor said it was nothing to worry about, its rather benign. and they are now living with it for like...10 years and nothing life altering happened.
