Preauricular sinuses (ear pits) are common congenital abnormalities. Usually asymptomatic, they manifest as small opening in front of the external ear. In general they are asymptomatic. They can lead to benign cysts or infections, including small pus-filled masses known as abscesses.
Next Steps
Preauricular sinus doesn't close automatic or naturally. It need surgical removal.
