What Does A Cyst Formation Inside The Ear Mean?

hello, I recently gauged my ears. it s been 3 days since I stretched my left ear and there appears to be a small cyst-like bubble right behind my ear between where it attaches and above my jawline. should I be worried about this? how can I get it to disappear? thank you, Briana.

Hi.
This is called a seroma of the ear . The best treatment is to go for repeated aspiration and tight bandage. If this fails you may please request for a permanent cure by putting a button in front and be stitched for 2 weeks so that the skin gets sufficient time to get attached to the cartilage.
