Gout stones in the ear squeeze out as yellowish-white bulging redundancies of varying sizes.
Gout stone is actually a foreign nodule formed by monocyte and macrophage infiltration after the deposition of supersaturated urate crystals, which can be observed through the skin in some patients, as well as having a sandy feel to the touch. It belongs to the characteristic clinical manifestations of chronic gout, and in addition to appearing in the ear, it can also cause serious consequences such as joint deformity and activity limitation in severe cases, so it needs to be treated in time.
It should be noted that gout stones on the ear should not be squeezed out directly to avoid bleeding and infection.
It is recommended that once the diagnosis of gout is confirmed, we should consult the rheumatology and immunology department in time, and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of doctors to avoid aggravation of the condition. At the same time, gout stones should not be treated on their own to avoid bacterial infection.
