Question 1

how do you get rid of ear lobe wart?

Accepted Answer

Seborrheic keratosis: This type of flat, benign growth comes from skin cells that grow abnormally quickly. They are quite common and known to form on the earlobe.  They may be more likely to develop due to UV light exposure. If true wart, may be due to HPV. Your primary care doctor or dermatologist can be certain it is benign and not a skin cancer, and can also treat/remove it with liquid nitrogen or burning it off.

Question 2

i have a squishy sort of moveable wart sized bump behind my ear, what is it? there's also a bug bite next to it if that helps

Accepted Answer

Duration?: How long has it been present? If new, give it 7-10 days. If not new, or still present after 7-10 days, see ENT surgeon for exam. possible removal/biopsy.

Question 3

have wart like thing that grew in ear. was told at free clinic was a cyst type thing,and not to worry. may i somehow remove myself?

Accepted Answer

No you can't : and you could damage your ear in the process. See dermatologist for injection or removal

Question 4

can an ear infection cause a wart or tumor?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Ear infections do not predispose one to warts or tumors, although an untreated ear infection could cause an abscess which is tumor-like in its behavior.

Question 5

dear miss/mrs. rhoads;

my wife is suffering from a wart /papillom in her ear canal and complaining that she is having great deal of pain any time she touches it.what would be your consultation for that.

Accepted Answer

Wart in the ear: If she is suffering, why wait any longer? Get it taken care of. They are easy to remove and any ENT can do this for you and many Dermatologists (just ask when making the appointment as some do not feel comfortable working in the ears). The procedure takes less than a minute and is done in the office. Otherwise, Tylenol (acetaminophen) can be taken for discomfort until it is handled.

Question 6

my grand pa have wart around his ear,he had treatment but its really infected,he sees different doc.but nothing its seams like his ear is fall? help

Accepted Answer

Infected wart/wound: Symptoms of skin infection include redness, warmth, swelling, pain and sometimes drainage of clear fluid or pus. Seek prompt medical attention for such symptoms, especially if involving the face. Wounds that are non-healing or recurrent also need to be evaluated by a medical professional to rule-out the possibility of a skin cancer. Referral to a dermatologist (skin specialist) may be needed

Question 7

my ears hurt and my is sore & i have wart lookin bumps on the back of my tongue what does this mean ?

Accepted Answer

See a physician: You should see a physician.  They could be your circumvallate papillae which may be inflamed.  To be sure see your doctor.

Question 8

i used an earwax removal tool (metal) to claw the warts on my hand. then, i cleaned it by 70% of ethanol. in the next day, i used it to removed earwax. can hpv from wart transmit to my ears by that way? will warts grow in my ear (in side). thanks?

Accepted Answer

: What you described is not likely to transmit HPV to your ear. However, you risk damaging your ear drum and more by using a metal tool to remove ear wax. Put oil in your ear, it will soften the wax and it will come out on its own. You may use an ear wash kit available in pharmacies,

Question 9

warts on head of penis, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No.: Penile "warts" are not normal and may be a sign of hpv infection.  The human papillomavirus is a common genital condition (in both men and women).  Hpv is infectious, and if you have it, you may transmit it to sexual partners.  It would be good to visit with a clinic / healthcare provider to have an examination and see if an appropriate treatment could be pursued.  Hope that this helps.

Question 10

what will most likely happen if i gave a guy oral(head) who most likely has hpv but no warts were present ?

Accepted Answer

See below: Possible transmission of the hpv virus but not 100% transmission rate.  See you doctor for further testing.
