Hard pimples on earlobes may be caused by folliculitis or boils, sebaceous cysts, keloid scars, etc., which need to be treated according to the cause.
1. Folliculitis or boils: High temperature, excessive sweating, skin abrasions, and lack of attention to cleanliness can lead to inflammation caused by pathogenic bacteria invading the hair follicles, resulting in folliculitis, or even boils, which can lead to the appearance of localized hard pouches behind the ears, accompanied by redness, swelling, and pain, which can be treated with topical fusidic acid cream, mupirocin ointment, and so on.
2. Sebaceous cysts: Sebaceous gland ducts behind the ear are blocked and secretions accumulate locally to form hard bumps. Generally no special treatment is needed. If it occurs repeatedly or continues to increase in size, and there is a risk of infection, it can be removed by surgery.
3. Keloid: often secondary to skin injury, local skin inflammation leading to connective tissue hyperplasia to form keloid, ear piercing in the earlobe area, etc., usually do not need special treatment.
If the keloid continues to increase and affect the aesthetic appearance, can be used externally to inhibit keloid proliferation drugs, such as compound heparin sodium allantoin, polysulfonic acid mucopolysaccharides, etc., can also be considered to take the glucocorticoid intradermal injection, so as to make it soften and atrophy.
