Suspected Outer ear cholesteatoma.
Hello, I  suspect that I have cholesteatoma. I can feel a large bulge under my skin which is like bundel of thin fibers and sheets of skin, unknowingly I tried pulling it out strand by strand of these bands of skin but at that time i didn't realise it was under my skin, I kept pulling them as they irritated me but then I felt these things under the skin of my face and neck, these bands then started approaching near my right side eye, I kept moving them away by manipulating them from over the facial skin, same I kept doing with those that went towards my neck. I tried to tell many ENT doctors but they rubbish it by saying that I am mentally imagining things, but the problem kept Increasing. The condition now is that it's putting pressure on my nerves in my throat, especially the carotid artery as I keep moving them away from my that nerve because whenever there's pressure there my heart rate shoots up, I feel pressure in my chest and dizziness. please help confirm my suspicion.

Cholesteatoma is very different from the picture you are giving, having said that it might be something else which requires atleast clinical photos.
