Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. If i understand correctly the location of opening just above the external ear, it is called preauricular sinus. The needs to be removed otherwise child will get recurrent infection. Removal becomes difficult. I suggest you to consult pediatric surgeon for further examination and advice.
