I have had an extra piece of cartilage (I assume) on my ear since I was born. What is this ear deformity? (photo)

May 27, 2014

It is like a ball in my ear, and has a small hole that looks like a piercing facing outward. It does leak a very small amount of pus. What is this, and what type of doctor do I see to have it removed?
