I believe this is what is called Darwin's tubercle on my left ear. How to fix it? (Photo)

I have this deformity this birth, and I would like to get it removed if possible. What is the procedure, how much of a scar would I have? I would also like to know the average cost, if the insurance would cover it, or if I can use HSA? Thank you in advance.
