I have a preauricular pit but there is no swelling or redness. But when I squeeze the pit a very tiny amount of foul smelling white puss comes out but this happens only when I squeeze the pit. Do I need to show upto doctor or is this normal?

A preauricular pit is a small hole in front of the upper ear, located just between the face and the cartilage of the ear rim. A preauricular pit may occur on one or both sides of the ear. It is a common birth abnormality. Most people with this type of hole in the ear do not experience additional symptoms. Better you consult ent doctor.
