A member asked:

Every now and then the lobes of my ears (flappy things), will scab up and fall off and bleed. they then scab up then heal to normal. what is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skin infection: I have only seen this type of skin reaction in pierced ears and it is usually related to a bacterial skin infection. I suggest a dermatology evaluation. Just to clarify: you are not really stating that your entired eablobe falls off-just scabbing?
