What is the best and most effective way to treat a slightly infected blackhead in the ear from home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"slightly infected": is like "a little pregnant"- get examined and do not squeeze. You can apply 10% benzoyl peroxide gel on a Q-tip until you can be seen. Infection will need to be observed and antibiotics may be needed.

My 2 year old son has a tiny hole on his concha part of the ear. It had dirt that we squeezed out like a blackhead. He doesn't seem to be in pain. Is this cause for concern? What is the cause? Could it be an underlying symptom of something bigger?
