How can congenital preauricular fistula with cyst be resolved?

Patient's question:

The body was fine before, but recently this situation has appeared. How can congenital preauricular fistula with cysts be resolved?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Based on the analysis of your consultation content, congenital preauricular fistula has reappeared as a cyst. After three days of anti-inflammatory injections, there has been no improvement in the swelling. How should it be treated? It is likely that the preauricular fistula has developed an abscess again. If there is an abscess, incision and drainage should be performed. Otherwise, it will be difficult to reduce the redness and pain. After the inflammation subsides, surgical treatment should still be considered in due time. A fistula is prone to recurring, and ordinary anti-inflammatory treatment can only alleviate symptoms. For the patient, if the condition of congenital preauricular fistula is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary to prevent recurrence. Additionally, the patient should pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
