Flesh colored flaky scab on earlobe with an opening in the middle size of tip of crayon. no pain, no bleeding, & no itch. been there for years. worry?

Probably not: If the spot has really remained unchanged for years, then it likely is not serious. However if it's bothersome, a dermatologist can tell you what it is and likely take care of it. If the spot is changing, then it needs to be checked.
