It wasn't a pimple?! 👂🏻 Ear canal treatment review

 
One day, I found a lump(?) settled right in the center of my ear.
At first, I didn't think much of it, but as it gradually swelled and became painful, I went to the ENT clinic, and I was diagnosed with an ear abscess. I had the pus drained with a syringe and received treatment for the abscess.
 
 
This section symptoms and pain
The shape was like a pimple or skin cyst, resembling a bump or lump, and it wasn't very large.
The pain wasn't usually felt and was only slightly painful when pressed with my hand. One day, it was very painful even without touching it.
I felt a fever and, although there was no swelling initially, I saw the swelling had increased, so I went to the hospital.

A red, bulging bump
 
Of course, I thought it was either a pimple or a skin cyst.
In the ENT department, they call it ear canal.
This section was the first time I heard that term.
According to the doctor, it can be thought of as an inflammatory pus lump.
It looks like a pimple on the surface, so people say it's a pimple on the ear, but in fact, it's a different form from pimples on the face, so it doesn't disappear on its own, and treatment for the ear is definitely necessary.
Actually, it was not a pimple but pus from otitis externa—a surprising twist...!
The reason for this lesion is said to be due to various factors such as immune strength, sebum secretion, and stress. Lately, I suspect it might be because I haven't been sleeping well, which could affect my immune system.
 
 
Treatment methods
We performed the procedure of administering anesthesia and draining pus with a syringe.
After draining the pus during this section of treatment, you wiped the surrounding area with a cotton swab and showed it to me, and the pus was dark red. I vaguely thought it was yellow pus, but it wasn't yellow. It was said to be severely infected.
This process was painless because of anesthesia. Even after the anesthesia wore off, I felt nothing.
 
 
After removing this section
This is a photo taken by a family member who was accompanying me after this procedure, surprised by the blood.

Should I have applied Medifoam at this point? Haha
Anyway, this section of treatment was very simple and not severe, so there were no prescriptions for medication or ointments.
 
 
After removing the band, there was a syringe wound, but after a while, the wound healed quickly.

Through this treatment, I learned that a lump inside the ear doesn't necessarily mean it's a pimple or skin cyst!!
If you notice something protruding in your ear, please keep in mind the possibility of an ear abscess and consider seeking treatment!

    단순 뽀루지가 아니군요..이절염증 그냥 우숩게 볼것이 아니네요...좋은 정보 얻고 갑니다.

    귀가 은근 피지선이 많은 곳이라 염증도 잘 나고 뾰루지도 잘 나고 그러더라구요. 이절의 이가 귀 이인가 보네요. 고름 잘 제거되어 다행입니다.

    여드름이 아니라 고름이었군요!
    열감과 붓기가 있었다면 괴로우셨겠어요
    저도 좀 더 작은 덩어리가 생긴 적이 있었는데 다음에 또 생기면 주의깊게 관찰해야겠어요
    글 잘 봤어요
