The boil on the earlobe is scabbed but swollen, which means that the surface of the boil is healed but the inflammation spreads to the deeper tissues, which is related to the laxity of the local subcutaneous tissues of the earlobe, and it can be treated by general treatment, medication and surgical incision and drainage. 1. General treatment: patients should take a light diet, avoid spicy, greasy and stimulating food; pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late; avoid squeezing the boil to avoid spreading the infection. 2. Medication: antibiotic ointment can be used externally, such as mupirocin ointment, fusidic acid cream, etc. When the symptoms are serious, such as carbuncle or cellulitis, fever and other systemic symptoms, sensitive antibiotics can be chosen according to the doctor’s instructions, such as cephalosporins, quinolones, etc., and fever-reducing and pain-relieving medicines such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc., can be applied at the same time. 3. Surgical incision and drainage: If there is a fluctuating sensation in the local area after the boil is locally crusted and deeply swollen, or if there is localized pus flow or ulceration, surgical incision and drainage can be carried out under the guidance of the doctor to drain the pus, and sensitive antibiotics can be applied for anti-infection treatment. It is recommended that patients with boils on earlobes that are scabbed over but swollen up should consult a doctor in time and have standardized treatment under the doctor’s guidance to avoid delaying the condition.
