If your earlobe has turned black, it may be due to several reasons, such as bruising, pigmentation changes, or scar tissue from past trauma. It is important to consult a dermatologist or healthcare provider to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment. They may suggest options such as topical treatments, laser therapy, or other interventions depending on the underlying issue. Please seek a professional evaluation to address your concerns accurately.
