A preauricular pit is a small, often asymmetrical indentation or dimple located near the front of the ear, typically at the junction where the ear meets the head. It can vary in size and may appear as a tiny hole or a shallow depression in the skin. In some cases, it can be accompanied by a small sinus tract. While generally benign, it can sometimes become infected or develop complications, warranting medical attention.

Why does the excretion of a preauricular pit smell so bad?
The excretion from a preauricular pit can smell unpleasant due to the accumulation of debris, bacteria, and possibly trapped skin cells or cerumen (earwax) within the pit. This environment can promote bacterial growth, leading to the production of foul-smelling compounds. Additionally, if there is an infection or inflammation, this can further contribute to the odor. Proper hygiene and medical evaluation can help manage these issues.

Squeeze the pit gently, like a pimple. Some discharge will come out - usually quite smelly. Sometimes using a tissue helps, as it's not as sharp as using fingernails. Being gentle is a must! Too much squeezing can cause bruising or infection. Depending on how much discharge your pit collects, squeezing twice a week should be ok.
