Hello, my 1 year old bearded dragon seems to have a bump in her left ear hole and I don’t know how she got it. Pictures are attached, thank you! The first picture is the one that looks like she has a pimple and the second picture is her other ear that is normal.
How long has that particular ear looked that way? Has she recently shed her head or ear
area possibly?
They can oftentimes have varying degrees of physical appearance of their ear or tympanic
membrane. It is possible she could have punctured her tympanic membrane by scratching
or rubbing it on something. Does it seem to be bothering her?

Hello, last time we checked, both her ears were normal looking, we just noticed this bump last night. She shed a week ago by her face, and from what I’ve seen, she’s been doing fine, she still eats and goes about her day without an indication that the bump is bothering her
That is good to hear it doesn't seem to be bothering her at all. If she just shed that area,
it is possible it could have shed wrong & the skin over the ear didn't come off correctly.
It should heal over but it will take some time.
How is her appetite doing?

That is good to hear she has a good appetite. I just wonder if she possibly tore the skin off
while shedding, which does happen from time to time. It must not be bothering her then so
hopefully it will heal over soon.
