Why do some people have a small hole above their ear?

A very small percentage of people are born with tiny, barely visible holes in their ears.

They're not weird fish-people. or aliens. Rather, they are a small part of the population, and they are born with something called the anterior auricular venous sinus.

In the UK, less than one percent of people own them. In the United States, the frequency is lower, while in parts of Asia and Africa, about 4 to 10 people may be affected.

Put simply, a deformity is a "nodule, dent, or depression" that is exposed around the outer ear, specifically where the "face" and ear cartilage meet.

Technically, the anterior auricular venous sinuses are a hereditary birth defect that was first documented in 1864 by a scientist named Van Hersinger. Usually they are found on one side, but up to 50 people have them on both sides.

According to Business Insider, an evolutionary biologist, Neil Shubin, said the holes could be "the evolutionary remnants of the gills of fish."

But if you're part of the one percent, there's usually nothing to worry about. They may be related to other things, but they don't cause problems. The most likely problem is that the hole is infected, which can be easily treated with antibiotics**. Occasionally, however, surgical removal of the sinuses is required.

So we have it in the anterior auricular sinus which is basically just a pre-made piercing (although you should definitely not put jewelry in it).

This is called preauricular tube infection, my daughter also has it, if there is an infection or often ** has a large bag, it is necessary to have surgery to remove the inner tube, if there is no infection, it will not be affected.

I have that too. Sometimes pus comes out! It stinks to death.

I have yes too, both ears have!! It seems that my mother has it too, and it has been passed on to me. I don't know if I don't read this report, but I don't think I need to pay too much attention to it, and I don't have to worry about living as usual without symptoms.

I also have it, and when I was a child, I didn't understand that I used a toothpick to prick the hole, and it would be bloody. I'm 25 years old this year, and for a few days, the hole in my ear is itchy, and the itch is very uncomfortable, and then I wrap my hand in a tissue and squeeze it, and it will come out with smelly water like a thick one.

This kind of person is particularly beautiful, the elderly are called made of paper, respected by people, and have a high temperament, but their life is unsatisfactory.

There are fritters coming out of it, and there is a strange smell.

My son was born with the same ears, and he is still doing well.

I also had this.,Later, I was infected.。。。

The stuff secreted from this hole stinks!! Hate this.

I have two children, on the same side.

Inside this is epidermal shedding = dandruff, no sun, so white, plus sweat, stuffy, smelly (white is not pus, it's earwax-like things). It's like the ear skin is folded up to form a skin sac, but the inside is still **, leaving only a small mouth. Use an embroidered needle nose, after boiling water, dig out the dirty, take it once a day or two, itch, don't rub it directly with your hands, use clean toilet paper at intervals, dirty hands can not connect the orifice, the orifice has a small opening, wound-like, (so it can form a false membrane, want to heal).

Infection is an infection of the skin capsule dropping cortex, just like the infection of the plastic cortex of basketball, not the infection of the inner surface of the inner surface, and the inner surface of the ear compartment is **. Some doctors say that some people have deep drips through the brain. People have four genetic holes, namely the top of the head, the ear compartment, the cheek leakage, and the middle of the lower back.

Inflammation of the ear compartment, low-grade fever, headache for five days. The operation should be dug thoroughly, otherwise, the secretion of earwax will continue. I actually got a bad review.。。。

In terms of physiognomy, the ear warehouse is a gold nest and a silver nest, and it is a warehouse for gold and silver treasures; As the saying goes: "The front warehouse hides grain, the back warehouse hides chaff, and the ears hide clothes". Some people are born with a small hole in the front of their ear, which is considered a "blessing".

From a medical point of view, the auricular compartment refers to the congenital anterior auricular fistula, which is a common congenital external ear disease in clinical practice.

1. The auricular primordium of the digill arch is a remnant of incomplete fusion during development, and the genetic characteristics are autosomal dominant inheritance.

This one is generally innate, not a problem, and you can even wear jewelry, if the location is suitable.

There is a small hole behind the ear, which may be an epidermoid cyst, so that ** is not closed, and is formed with the deepening of the bone gap, and the internal is the sinus tract composed of **, which can secrete oil and sweat, and if the excretion is not smooth, it will cause inflammation. Therefore, it is recommended that patients must pay attention to hygiene, and do not squeeze with their hands, and if inflammation occurs, they must be treated with antibiotics in time**.

It's not about a girl's ear piercing!

In the UK, one out of every 100 people has a small hole in their ear, similar to a cover**.

In Asia and Africa, about two out of every five people have these small holes in their ears.

It is medically known as a "preauricular fistula" and was first proposed in 1864 by a scientist named Van Heusinger, suggesting that it may be hereditary or incidental. Some people have holes in both ears, others have only one side, and most preauricular fistulas appear in the right ear.

Because some of these orifices penetrate deep into the skull, some scientists say they may be "remnants of gill evolution."

Because they grow outside, they sometimes encounter unclean things, which can lead to infections or other complications.

So if you have such a small hole on your ears, then you must pay attention to hygiene and take precautions.

The small hole in the ear is actually a congenital ear deformity, medically called congenital preauricular fistula (congenital preauricular fistula).

According to domestic surveys, the incidence of it is higher in women than in men.

Why does this little hole grow?

This dates back to the embryonic stage, when the embryo develops to form the pinna.

Incomplete fusion of the first and second parotid arches or incomplete closure of the first branchial sulcus will form a blind tract.

This ear deformity is congenital. The small hole opening is mostly located in front of the foot of the auricle, and a few can be found in the triangular fossa of the auricle.

What does the hole look like inside?

Congenital anterior auricular fistulas can grow on one ear or on both ears. The fistula is elongated and narrow, and can pass through the auricular foot or auricular cartilage, and then penetrate further into the skull, or even branch in several ways.

Simply put, a congenital preauricular fistula is a small hole in your ear that leads to an unknown part of your skull.

There are hair follicles and sweat glands in the lumen wall, and the cavity will shed epithelium and keratinizing substances to form scales and emit a foul smell.

But this is someone who has nothing to do all their lives, and some people who need surgery;

Some patients find that they have small holes in their ears, which may be caused by congenital factors, or they may be caused by acquired infection and inflammation. The patient should undergo a professional examination and ** under the guidance of a doctor, and the patient can apply ointment to the affected area to help ** the disease. Patients should pay attention to keeping the affected area clean and hygienic, and pay attention to keeping it dry.

In our lives, many patients have found small holes in their ears, which makes patients even more worried. It can be caused by a congenital ** infection of the ear canal in front of the patient, or it can be caused by local inflammation of the patient's ear. Patients should go to a professional hospital for examination of their condition, which needs to be timely**.

Patients should be aware of the cause and method of the small hole in the ear.

Some patients will have this congenital condition in front of their ears, and they will have repeated pus in front of their ears, so they will have small holes in their ears. The patient needs to go to the hospital to check for his infection, which needs to be surgically removed. The patient needs to be removed by an experienced doctor.

Patients should take care to keep the affected area clean and hygienic and not to scratch the affected area with their hands or stress excessively.

Some patients may have congenital preauricular fistula infection, and some patients may have local inflammation of the ear, so patients should go to a regular hospital for otolaryngology examination, and the diagnosis can be made in time**. Patients can help control the infection with medications. Patients may be given glucocorticoids to use antibiotics to help reduce inflammation.

The cause of the small hole in the ear may vary from patient to patient. Whatever the factor causes a small hole in the patient's ear, the patient's health is compromised. It can be caused by the exuberant secretion of the patient's sebaceous glands, or it can be caused by inflammation in the patient.

The patient needs to go to the hospital to disinfect the affected area with iodine, and the patient can choose the appropriate medicine to ** the affected area. During the illness, patients and friends should not blindly take drugs, they must take drugs under the advice of their doctors, so as not to cause more serious harm to the body, they must pay attention to healthy diet in daily life, do not eat spicy food, and patients should not smoke and drink alcohol.

In conclusion, many patients in their lives have small holes in their ears, which makes patients even more worried because it is an abnormal condition. If this happens, the patient can choose the appropriate **method under the guidance of the doctor, the patient can use medication to help the **disease, the patient should take care to keep the affected area clean and do not scratch the affected area with their hands.

This is a symptom of ear deformity, which is left in the embryonic formation is not well developed, usually pay more attention, do not poke with things, and do not squeeze with your hands, otherwise it is easy to cause inflammation or something, and in severe cases, it may also cause life-threatening.

As the old saying goes, the front warehouse hides grain, the back warehouse hides chaff, and the ears hide clothes, do you know what this means? In fact, he is talking about the ear warehouse, the ear warehouse is to say that there is a small hole in the baby's ear, in the eyes of the elderly, this is a symbol of blessing, indicating that the baby will eat and drink all his life.

When the baby is nursing the newborn, it is best not to squeeze it with your hands, because if the mother's hands are not clean, carrying some bacteria is likely to cause inflammation or redness of the fistula in front of the ear.

2. Pay attention to cleanliness.

When washing your child's face, it's a good idea to keep it clean and protected from bacteria.

3. Don't squeeze the discharge and keep the ears dry.

Don't be anxious when there is white discharge in the preauricular fistula, keep the ears dry, wipe it clean with paper, don't squeeze it with your hands, if there is itching at the leaky tube, don't rub it with your hands, if the baby always rubs it with your hands, the mother must stop it from causing inflammation.
