Question
What symptoms may appear with congenital preauricular sinus tract?
Answer
Congenital preauricular sinus tract typically does not require special treatment if it is not frequently inflamed. However, if it is frequently stimulated, it may lead to inflammation, and after inflammation, it is prone to recurrence. For example, pain upon light touching of the ear canal may be due to gastrointestinal discomfort or accidental bleeding of the external auditory canal during ear cleaning. It is recommended to carefully observe the situation, maintain a light diet, and avoid water entering the ear. In fact, congenital preauricular sinus tract is not an incurable disease; timely identification of symptoms and appropriate treatment can provide a high chance of stable condition and recovery.
