What Causes Yellow Discharge From The Ears?
I have been draining a yellow paste like pus from a hole in my ears helix. The pus is not coming from inside the ear canal it is from the tissue of the helix. When I push on it the pus drains out in thick tooth paste consistency. Any idea what it could be?

Hello,
I suspect preauricular sinus which is a congenital deformity which usually presents as a yellowish paste like discharge from sinus area. If I am your treating doctor, I will examine, do investigations like CT scan, and give medical and surgical management if required. I recommend you to consult ENT specialist and proceed with treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
