The hard lumps inside the closed ear holes are considered keloid scars, which can be treated with medication or surgery as prescribed by the doctor.
Keloid scars are often secondary to skin trauma or spontaneous formation. Usually, keloid scars are higher than the surface of the skin, hard and tough, and can be in the form of nodules or stripes. Patients with ear keloids can seek medical attention to remove the lesions surgically, and other surgical treatments such as flap grafting and soft-tissue skin expansion are also possible.
Some keloid patients can also take oral trinitrotoluene to inhibit fibroblasts, and local injection of betamethasone, trimethoprim and other glucocorticosteroids, topical trimethoprim cream, retinoic acid cream and other medications. Other treatment measures such as cryotherapy, laser therapy, and compression therapy are also feasible for some patients.
It is recommended that those who have hard lumps in their ears after the ear holes are closed should consult a doctor for examination, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment after clarifying the cause of the disease. Pay attention to daily ear care, avoid foreign body friction stimulation.
