“Ear Nodule ”
Hello, I've had a nodule on my external ear for a year now. Recently I discovered a smaller one on the same ear. It is only present on my left ear. The nodule is hard, has no pain and does not move ( I tried moving it and it is immobile). Some days it appears smaller but it has grown since I first discovered it. My right ear is normal but my left ear has the nodule. I have a upper anti-helix piercing on the left ear and for over a year I've been using ear phones for an online job. Apart from the, I don't know what could be wrong but I'm concerned as something is wrong with my left ear. I'm looking forward to any advice or suggestion. I currently don't have healthcare or a job at the moment to seek help in person.

Nothing is wrong with your ear. Its probably a benign growth called a chondroma If you want it cut out, an ENT can do that for you easily. Otherwise, I would leave it alone. It may likely slowly and get bigger over time.
