I've got this flaky skin inside my ear, and after I peeled it off, a clear liquid started coming out. It's a bit painful too. What could be causing this? Should I be worried, and how can I treat it?

A lump on the back of your tongue can be concerning.

Possible causes:

  1. Trauma or injury
  2. Mucocele (mucous cyst)
  3. Fibroma (benign tumor)
  4. Papilloma (benign growth)
  5. Leukoplakia (pre-cancerous lesion)

Consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist or an oral surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
