Symptoms of ear cyst

If a person finds pimples growing around his ears, he should not only consider that the pimples are caused by acne, but also consider that they are caused by ear cysts. Ear cyst is a relatively serious ear disease. After a cyst grows in the ear, white tofu-like substances will accumulate inside the cyst. Ear cysts must be treated promptly, so what symptoms will ear cysts have?

Sebaceous cyst of the ear, commonly known as "ear cyst", is a retention cyst formed mainly due to obstruction of the sebaceous gland excretion duct and the expansion of the sebaceous gland cystic epithelium by the gradually increasing contents. It is characterized by a slowly growing benign lesion. There is white bean curd-like secretion in the cyst. It can occur at any age, but is more common in young and middle-aged people, and is prone to occur on the head, face, neck, chest and back. Sebaceous cysts protrude from the surface of the skin and are generally asymptomatic, but may be painful if they become infected.

First: Sebaceous cysts protrude from the surface of the skin and are prone to occur in areas rich in sebaceous glands, such as the scalp, face, chest and back, and most of them grow slowly. When there is no concurrent infection, patients generally have no symptoms.

Second: The tumor is spherical, single or multiple, and varies in size, ranging from a few millimeters to nearly 10 centimeters. It is of medium hardness and elasticity, protruding from the skin surface, adhered to the skin, not easy to push, with a smooth surface and no sense of fluctuation. There is a needle-head-sized umbilicus-like opening in the center, which is blue-black in color and shaped like a needle-head acne. Squeezing can produce tofu dregs or noodle mud-like contents, which are sebum and broken sebaceous gland cells, often with a rancid odor.

Third: It is extremely rare for sebaceous cysts to become cancerous, but they are prone to secondary infection. If infection occurs, inflammatory reactions such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain may occur. The cyst may rupture and temporarily disappear under external force, but it will form scars and is prone to recurrence.

Note:

1. Keep facial skin clean to keep the sebaceous glands open and facilitate the excretion of secretions.

2. When the facial skin is itchy, do not scratch it at will to avoid causing facial skin infection, damaging the opening of the sebaceous glands, causing retention of sebaceous gland secretions, and promoting the formation of sebaceous cysts.

3. Do not squeeze facial skin boils, etc.
