Suggest Remedy For Cyst In Earlobe

Hi, I have a cyst on the inside of my helix on my right ear Ive had it since birth its always been leaking with puss but never to the point where it was a huge emergency. Lately, its been sore more than usual with little to no leakage. Should I get this removed or leave it alone?

Dermatologist 's  Response
hi. i have read your question and understand that your cyst is repeatedly getting infected (as you said its always leaking with pus). this time the infection is more causing it to be sore.

since your cyst is repeatedly getting infected i suggest you get the cyst removed. you would need to meet a plastic or ENT surgeon who can excise the cyst and put you on antibiotics.
wish you good health. thanks
