Why do earlobes hurt ? The so-called "atheroma" is to blame. What is it, as well as how to deal with this ailment, you will learn in this article.
What happens to the ears?
Atheroma is a wen (cyst), which makes the earlobes inflame and hurt. This is due to the clogging of the sebaceous gland located on the lobe. The yellow ball has very clear boundaries.
Who is at risk?
It should be noted that absolutely any person can be in the risk zone, regardless of whether the man is a woman or a woman and how old he is.
Causes
The causes of atheroma, due to which our earlobes suffer, and with them we, can be very diverse. For example, the most common is a metabolic disorder that arose as a result of a bad environmental situation.
Often the atheroma is caused by hormonal disorders in the human body or hyperhidrosis. Note that sometimes the appearance of such balls inside the earlobes is complained by people who recently pierced their ears in this place.
Clinical picture
Atheroma, due to which our earlobes hurt, sometimes reaches up to 40 mm in size. In itself, this formation is harmless, but the danger of suppuration has not yet been canceled! It is pus that causes pain in the lobe.
During suppuration, this seal begins to hurt quite badly, sometimes redness and swelling are noticeable, and an increased body temperature is also observed. 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 fluid consisting of pus, lard, and anemia begins to flow from the atheroma.
Treatment
It is curious that the ball on the ear can become inflamed many times. Therefore, it is necessary to anticipate the next suppuration in advance and consult a doctor as soon as possible before it appears. You will have a simple surgical operation on your ear - they will remove the cyst and have a dressing.
What is the danger?
It lies in the fact that our people turn to a specialist only when they notice a suppuration that has already appeared, when their earlobes will already make themselves felt!
Do not forget that atheroma is a pathology. Her appearance suggests that surgical intervention is already necessary. Remember: the smaller the ball and the more painless it is, the easier it can be removed. Do not wait for its growth and suppuration!
How else to deal with atheroma?
Its development in most cases occurs on oily skin. To prevent the occurrence of atheroma, it is necessary to carefully take baths, in conscience, rubbing the skin with a soaped washcloth. In addition, you need to limit the use of fatty foods, spicy foods, sweets and flour products.
