Tumour in ear
My mother is aged 77 yrs. She had a small tumor in right ear outer leaf upper side since 2011. We consulted the surgeon & surgery was done according to his advice in 2013. Initially, there was no problem. Now, new tumor is growing at that position about 13 months. It is now bigger & about 30 mm. It is spreading towards lower leaf.She is taking Homeopathic medicine & now on silicea 200 but there is no improvement.
She is fair & bulky. Looking for advice.
She might have had malignant tumor of the external ear. Usually recurrence after surgery is very common in this condition. Homeopathy has no role in treatment of tumors. She may need further evaluation and second surgery which may be more radical
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT and Head and Neck surgeon for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
