Suggest Treatment For Lump In Neck, Itching And Irritated Skin On Ear
My daughter is 8 and apparently her earrings have been badly irritating her skin but she loves them so she hadnt told me. I noticed today that she has been scratching to the point of blood by where she wears her earring and upon further examination that there is a lump directly on top of the vein in her neck. I am very concerned, should I be?

Hi,
It may be an embryological remnant that anatomically closure of the tract hasn't closed properly, so that it may have turned as sinus or fistula as per your findings, but I feel it needs opinion from otorhinolaryngologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sivasankar S., Anesthesiologist
