Patient's question:
Recently I've been feeling quite tired, and my body has been showing signs of not being healthy. Could this be because of a disease? I would like to ask: congenital preauricular fistula, and the fistula is located in the auricle.Doctor's answer:
Congenital preauricular fistula is a remnant of incomplete scarring of the auricular primordia of the second and second branchial arches during development. When asymptomatic, it can be left untreated. Those without symptoms do not need to be addressed, while those with local itching, discharge, or recurrent infections may undergo surgical excision of the fistula. In addition to treating congenital preauricular fistula, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a cheerful mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and accelerate the recovery process.
