Small Lump Behind Ear, Painless, Popped Whitehead, Discharge, Foul Smelling Pus. History Of Oily Skin On Ears. Treatment?
I had a small bump behind my ear where it meets the skull . It was painless. I managed to get a look at it and noticed it had a white head. Without thinking I popped it and I could hear the stuff being squeezed out of it. What came out was a white cheese like discharge that smelt sort of foul. It doesn t hurt now and didn t hurt then. I was thinking it was a really large clogged pore or something since it reacted the same way to the squeezing as a soft blackhead would. My ears are usually oily even though i was inside and behind them daily when showering. Idk what it could be. Any answers or suggestions?
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having infected sebaceous cyst giving this problem. Consult surgeon and get examined. you may require excision of cyst with removal of sac to get complete cure otherwise recurring problem will be there. Ok and take care.
