Hello!
well that's a result of chronic ear infection. I always recommend to patients with cholestoma to remove it surgically.
But before the surgery, it is advised to have a 'dry ear'. That means that the ear should be free from an active infection.
I highly recommend to consult an ENT specialist to get the cholestoma removed.
The doctors will advice antibiotics for at least one week and then go for the surgery.

I can't write down my contact info here as it is against the policies of the site.

Best Regards,
