What Is Causing Acne Around The Outer Area Of The Salivary Gland?

I had a salivary gland stone, and I received countless antibiotics prior to it disipating. Now I have awful acne around the outer area at which the stone was present and it does not seem to go away. It is getting more horrendous, and scarring the skin near my ear. What do I do?

Dentist 's  Response
It looks that now a sinus opening has been formed because of this salivary gland stone, as it causes infection of gland and abscess forms in the gland.
You should visit an oral surgeon and get the stone removed surgically, as otherwise this process of abscess will continue.
Hope it will help you.
