my ears

I don't know if this is normal, I can't say I've ever recognised it before but on both ears I have one very small type lump - although saying that, the ear itself has some lumps on the inside because of the way it's designed, so it's distinguishing whether it is normal or not.

One one, it's just a tiny little thing sitting on the inside and the other is in the middle and just feels like an extension. It's hard to describe, maybe I'm being too paranoid, does that sound normal or not?

Stop worrying. My ears are like inclined sideways lol , so I look monkey-ish but ohwell. I bet you don't look that bad.

Do you wear earrings? Because sometimes I get that if I wear studs for too long.

If you're really worried, I think it would be worth going to your GP for a check up to settle your nerves :smile:

Good luck!

I think it sounds quite normal really. My ears are quite lumpy I've never really paid attention to it. Ears arn't symmetrical either so that would explain the differences ear to ear.

and I don't wear or have never worn any earring/piercing.

Oh please- if your photos are anything to go by, you have nothing to worry about!

I look exactly like how I do in my profile picture. Shall I take that as a compliment ? (A)

Thanks :smile:

Seeing as I remember discussing "ear lumps" with a few friends a year or two ago and none of us have dropped dead or developed any horrible symptoms/ disease, you're probably fine :wink:

I've had them; effectively, they are just spots inside the fleshy part of your ear - they will go away in like a month or two.
