My 90 year old mother has a small skin tag like growth just inside her ear lobe which oozes sticky fluid. She has had one on one ear for about a month and has tried various treatments. Now another one has occurred on the other ear. The area around is red and swollen a bit. Do you have any idea as to what this could be.
Hello, Thanks for the query, She might have developed warts. It is a viral infection. These need to be removed by radiofrequency ablation. It is a small surgical procedure and takes just few minutes. An antibiotic will be required to give cover for infections. A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubt. you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link. http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818 Wishing you a good health. Thank you
