“Small round bumps in two weird places?”
I am a 27 year old female, African-American, 5”5, 110lbs. I'm taking Wellbutrin and Celexa. I recently finished taking prescribed vitamin D for deficiency. Never smoked, rarely indulge in wine, vegetarian, and I got a messed up sleep schedule (stay up late, wake up early or late).
Now for the problem.
I have had a small cyst in front of my left ear for a while, the same ear that crackles when I move my jaw, which is mildly misaligned (TMJ). It’s movable, and if I do it too much it does get tender. Sometimes I think I’ve rubbed it smaller, other times I think it’s gotten swollen. I’ve noticed it for at least two years.
But I ALSO got a new small bump under my belly button in the last few months. Also movable. Same traits as the one in front of my ear. Several months ago I asked my doctor what it was and he didn’t know but suggested an x-ray, which I can’t do right now.
What is happening and how scared should I be? Is there anything I can do at home to fix it?

Listen, it could be something as simple as a lipoma or could be something more serious. Please, go to Healthcare provider to check that further. Thank you.
