A cyst-like thing has grown on my ear, what should I do?

Patient's question:

At the age of 3, a growth resembling a cyst appeared on top of my ear. Over time, it grew larger, causing my ear to hang down. It didn't hurt or itch, but it was quite firm.

Doctor's answer:

If the growth appears on the auricle, it is likely a localized nodule formed by the development of an auricular pseudocyst, or it may be caused by the presence of a sebaceous cyst or a pilonidal cyst. It is best to promptly visit an otolaryngology department in the hospital for examination to clarify the condition and take appropriate treatment measures.
