Preauricular sinus and cyst
Since my childhood I have holes in my ears . I don't know is it. But when I googled it I found out that it may take surgery if it gets infected . I don't know is my ear is infected or not . But when I press my ears near the hole with my finger then some fluid kind of something comes from my ears ......so help me to find out what actually it is .
You have a condition called Preauricular Sinus.
It is a congenital condition and no treatment is needed if asymptomatic.
However, since you are having discharge from the sinuses, it's best to get the surgery done.
Next Steps
The surgery is simple, safe and involves excision of the sinuses. It will give complete and permanent relief of symptoms.
Health Tips
Recurrent infection will not only expose you to repeated medication, but will make the surgery difficult if needed in the future.
