Does Pus Discharge From Hole At Top Of Ear Indicate Preauricular Cyst?
I have pus coming out of a hole at the top of my ear and I was born with it. It is very embarrassing because it comes out without me knowing sometimes and it stink very badly I wanted to know if it was preauricular cyst? and I wanted to know if the antibiotic Cephalexin can treat it because a lot of people have said that they got theirs removed but I really don t want to get them removed.

Hi,
From history it seems that byou might be having infected pre auricular sebaceous cyst giving this problem again and again.
Antibiotic medicine gives temporarily relief by controlling infection but recurrence is always there.
consult surgeon and get it excised with complete removal of sac.
Ok and take care.
