Why do my earlobes hurt? The so-called "atheroma" is to blame. What is it, as well as how to deal with this disease, you will learn in this article.
What's going on with the ears?
Atheroma is a wen (cyst), which causes the earlobes to become inflamed and hurt. This is due to the fact that the sebaceous gland located on the lobe is clogged. The yellow ball has very clear boundaries.
Who is at risk?
It should be noted that absolutely anyone can be at risk, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman and how old he is.
Reasons
Causes of atheroma, because of which our earlobes suffer, and with them we, can be very diverse. For example, the most common is a metabolic disorder resulting from a bad environmental situation.
Often atheroma is caused by hormonal disorders in the human body or hyperhidrosis. Note that sometimes people who recently pierced their ears in this place complain about the appearance of such balls inside the earlobes.
Clinical picture
Atheroma, because of which our earlobes hurt, sometimes reaches up to 40 in sizemm. In itself, this formation is harmless, but no one has yet canceled the danger of suppuration! It is pus that causes pain in the lobe.
During suppuration, this seal begins to hurt quite strongly, redness and swelling are sometimes noticeable, and there is also an increased body temperature. It is during this period that small balls can be felt in the earlobes.
It is worth noting that their autopsy may well occur on their own, in this case, a liquid consisting of pus, fat and ichor begins to flow from the atheroma.
Treatment
It is curious that the ball on the ear can become inflamed a huge number of times. Therefore, it is necessary to foresee the next suppuration in advance and consult a doctor as soon as possible before it appears. You will undergo a simple surgical operation on your ear - the cyst will be removed and bandaged.
What is the danger?
It lies in the fact that our people turn to a specialist only when they notice suppuration that has already appeared, when their earlobes already make themselves felt!
Do not forget that atheroma is a pathology. Her appearance indicates that surgical intervention is already necessary. Remember: the smaller and more painless the ball, the easier it will be to remove. Don't wait for it to grow and fester!
How else to deal with atheroma?
Its development in most cases occurs on oily skin. To prevent the appearance of atheroma, it is necessary to take baths carefully, honestly rubbing the skin with soapywashcloth. In addition, you need to limit the consumption of fatty foods, spicy foods, sweets and flour products.
Modern methods of atheroma treatment
It is worth noting that atheromas in the early stages of their development can be removed without mandatory surgical intervention. Today there are radio wave and laser removal. Their essence lies in the evaporation of the contents along with the cells of the neoplasm.
