Question 1

my 6 year old son woke up with a swolllen ear lobe and a fever blister on his lip should i be concerned ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If the ear lobe  is hot, red and painful, it's infected.  See your doctor.  The fever blister is likely herpes, which tends to come out when a person is stressed.  The stress of having an infection in an ear lobe might have brought on the emergence of the cold sore.

Question 2

i have small blisters appearing on bother ears the tops and lobes they are painful and filled with a clear fluid what could this be please?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Please see your dermatologist for evaluation and to discuss treatment options. This is probably a contact dermatitis.

Question 3

how can i fix a torn ear lobe?

Accepted Answer

Ear lobe repair: Many people get a split ear lobe from an ear ring getting pulled through. The process to repair the split earlobe is fairly simple. Most plastic surgeons or doctors who do surgery should be able to do the procedure under local anesthetic in their office. The earlobe is numbed up, the skin inside the split is removed and the ends are sutured back together.

Question 4

excess oils on ear lobes ,all the time ..

Accepted Answer

Gentle washing: Some people tend to produce more oils from the skin.  If you use a face wash for oily skin, you could also apply it when washing your face on the ear lobes to see if that can reduce some of the oil buildup.  I would avoid getting it in your ear canal, but the outerside is okay.  You could also use a washcloth to help remove the soap once you apply it.

Question 5

why does my ear lobe have a hard lump?

Accepted Answer

A few things: Could be a blocked oil gland (sebaceous cyst). A scar from previous trauma or piercing, small benign tumor, resolved acne lesion. If it has been there awhile. See an ent doc for evaluation

Question 6

what causes fast aching pain in ear lobe?

Accepted Answer

Infection : The only thing that causes pain in the ear lobe is an infection. As the ear lobe is just skin and connective tissue, mostly fat, there isn't much that can go wrong other than infection.

Question 7

what is the huge pustule behind my ear lobe?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: It is likely an infected epidermal / sebaceous cyst and will require incision and drainage along with antibiotics. Please seek medical attention without further delay.

Question 8

why is my lymph node and ear lobe on my left side swollen?

Accepted Answer

Possible infection: Swelling of ear lobe could be related to an infection with resulting  lymph node enlargement. Medical eval should be able to clarify issue. Take care.

Question 9

will collagen injection in ear lobes make your ear lobe thicker?

Accepted Answer

Big juicy lobes: This is not a common request and certainly collagen would accomplish a temporary increase in the side of the earlobe but it may feel unnecessarily firm and would not be my first choice. If a patient made this request, i would recommend the use of hyaluronic acid fillers as the initial filler.
