Usually itching alone is not a symptom of preauricular sinus. There will associated discharge and recurrent infections. Itching may be because of scarring and allergy towards suture material. You may need to apply antifungal steroid creams for few days
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
