@teachmedoc: #greenscreen 😳👂: Infected Preauricular Pits need surgical excision. Because they are embryological remnants, it is important that the pit AND it's tract and associated tissues and cartilage is removed of the infection will recur. 👏 Good news: Most pits will never get infected (90%). But please resist the temptation to squeeze them like a pimple or they might. ⚠️ Bilateral ear pits can also be a sign of other incomplete embryological fusions that may be a part of a syndrome. For example, bilateral ear pits and hearing loss, require further work up for Branchio-oto-renal Syndrome. 🩺👩🏻‍⚕️ Please see a Pediatric ENT doctor if you are concerned. 🏆🥇 thanks to all who participated in Guess The Diagnosis! ✍️ Have an idea for the next Guess The Diagnosis!

I had this. On both ears. It would get stinky and required cleaning. Had to have three painful surgeries to finally close it all up as a kid.

i had this but they just called it a cyst and the removal honestly made it worse because now when it's infected it doesn't drain :/
