Why does a congenital preauricular fistula recur even after healing?

Patient's question:

I found that I have this condition, but I haven't gained a specific understanding yet. Why does a congenital preauricular fistula recur even after it has healed?

Doctor's answer:

After reading your description, it is best to have surgery to remove the condition if it is not contagious. The best treatment to prevent complications is surgical removal. I suggest you go to a regular hospital for an ear, nose, and throat consultation. If it is not contagious, seek timely treatment.
Additionally, for patients with congenital preauricular fistulas, diet and care during treatment are also very important. Patients must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
