Question
Will the congenital preauricular sinus regrow after it has been removed?
Answer
A congenital preauricular sinus is a common congenital condition where a sinus grows in front of the ear lobe. It does not affect hearing. The treatment for preauricular sinuses usually involves observation without surgery if there has been no inflammation. Some individuals may never experience inflammation throughout their lifetime. If inflammation occurs once, surgery to remove the sinus is necessary. After the surgery, it will not regrow. Wishing you a happy life and a quick recovery!
