I have this bump up near one of the folds.. right above my tragus. It feels really huge. It hurt the first day I got it. I checked my other ear, and I have a smaller bump near the antihelical fold.
What can I do to make it go away? I kinda don't want to leave it alone, especially the big one because my ear feels slightly swollen.
What do I clean it with?
I've had these before but not this big. I can't pop it because it's at a weird angle. I don't think it's a good idea either. I know if I go to a doctor they will tell me it's a pimple and to let it alone.. but from your experience.. did you clean it with anything to help it go away?

The best all natural product that I would use it Tea Tree Oil. It smells, but it works great. You won't have to break the skin to get it to work. It is absorbed. It does not hurt. It just smells very strong. Apply some on the cysts up to three times per day until it is gone. You can get Tea Tree Oil at a health food store or a vitamin store. As a last resort, you could be neosporin on it. It does kill bacteria, but it will take longer because the skin isn't broken.
