What should I do if a flesh ball grows in my ear piercing?

Patients with flesh ball growth in the ear piercing can remove it through conservative treatment, surgical treatment, or physical therapy.

1. Conservative treatment: If the flesh ball in the ear piercing is simply due to short-term scar hypertrophy, topical application of anti-scar medications as directed by a physician may be used for treatment, such as Centella asiatica gel or compound sodium heparin allantoin gel.

2. Surgical treatment: If the flesh ball in the ear piercing is caused by an auricular fibroma that has not increased in size, no special treatment is required and observation alone is sufficient. However, if the tumor continues to grow, medical attention should be sought and surgical excision may be necessary.

3. Physical therapy: For sensitive areas with flesh ball growth where medication is ineffective and complete removal via surgery is not feasible, cryotherapy or laser therapy can be used.

During treatment, proper local hygiene and protection are essential, especially for patients undergoing physical or surgical treatments, to prevent infection.
