What should I do if a small lump grows on the side of my ear?

Patient's question:

Doctor, a 3-month-old baby has a small lump on the side of their ear, how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the possibility of a preauricular tag is relatively high. Preauricular tags are usually caused by abnormal fetal development and primarily affect aesthetics, generally causing no other discomfort. This condition can usually be treated with surgical removal. This is a minor surgery. Generally, the cost of simple surgeries for children is hundreds of yuan. The symptoms of a sebaceous cyst may not be a problem. Don't worry. In this case, as long as it's a good hospital, the surgery can treat it.
