Question
How to Treat Inflammation of the Preauricular Duct?
Answer
The preauricular duct is a congenital developmental anomaly and tissue anatomical abnormality. It usually doesn’t cause any sensation unless it becomes inflamed. It may not be manageable. Perhaps it doesn’t cause any inconvenience in life, but it will never breathe like gills. Sometimes, gently squeezing can expel a small amount of mucus or lumps from the small hole. There’s no odor, but once infection occurs, it will recur again and again in the future. You should consider the option of completely removing it. It’s recommended to have a thorough examination at the hospital before treatment.
