Question
A 26-year-old female patient feels unwell and her mental state is not good. What are the specific dangers of congenital preauricular sinus tract?
Answer
If the congenital preauricular sinus tract does not become inflamed, there are usually no obvious symptoms and it can be ignored. However, if it becomes infected again, it may lead to recurrent attacks. It is advisable to consider surgical removal at an appropriate time. Because after a second infection, it may cause scar formation, leading to poor drainage and subsequent reinfection, which may ultimately result in abscesses and scars.
