question: I just noticed a large soft red swollen lump on back of 5 year old earlobe, where jawline meets earlobe and a smaller lump directly behind right earlobe where ear piercing is. She got her ears pierced about 4 months ago and changed earrings to gold plated silver a few weeks ago. We removed earrings. Lumps don t seem to be painful and she seems fine, no fever or pain, but does have some tiny red bumos/rash on skin around neck and elbows.
