Lumps on ears

Hi, a few days ago a pea sized bump appeared on each of my earlobes. They're both on the back of my earlobes and hard. They're not painful unless they're touched. I've been perfectly healthy, and it wouldn't worry me except that they appeared at roughly the same time.

Hello~For peace of mind, I would see your physician, they are probably nothing, but it is always a good idea to have any lump looked into.

Lumps that are painless behind the ears are not uncommon.  Sebaceous cysts is one which is a build up of oil and skin tissue over time.  Lipoma is another which is a fatty cyst.  Neither are serious.  I would guess it is one of these two things.  See your doctor to confirm.  good luck
