Concern About Childs Ear, Should I Be Worried ?
My dayghter has had a small hole inside of her ear since she was an infant. It is not visible to everyone. I noticed it one day as i was cleaning her ears, when I lifted the little fold at the fron of her ear I saw it. She has never complained of any pain, about once every month or two i have to wait for her to go to sleep and then clean it. I think that the hole collects dirt(i guess) so I clean it to prevent any type of health problems. Should I be worried, is it an indicater of another problem ?

Hello,
Better let an ENT doctor see it so that he/she will tell whether it can lead to complications or not.

Hi!!The area where the hole is present needs to be specified...but braodlyl, as of now,need not worry and would be of concern then, if at all she is symptomatic(pain,ear discharge etc) and bothers her later and do be careful while cleaning the dirt and make sure u do it with a medicated ear bud.

Hi,Kim,
Thanks for query,
It seems that your daughter might have infected sybacious cyst.
This may be on pinna,ear lobule or back of pinna.
It can not be drum as you can not see ear drum directly.
Consult ENT sp. and get specific diagnosis and then go for excision.
Ok and bye.

No u should not be worried. If ever there is infection u shall have to show it to a pediatric surgeon, It does not denote a bigger problem elsewhere.
