How do I get rid of the small cut on my right earlobe? (Photo)

Thanks for posting your question and photo. It is unusual to have a scab falling off at 3-4 months after any surgery.  At this time post operative you should be very well healed.  My feeling is that there may be a suture that has prevented the area from healing.  Sutures may be absorbable or not.  Its best to get re evaluated by your surgeon to make sure your healing becomes complete.

Please returned to your original physician to make sure you do not have an active infection that requires treatment.

This should be evaluated in person and can be treated with a combination of lasers and microneedling and silicone scar gel.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I would try using some Aquaphor ointment on the small wound on your earlobe.  This should allow it to heal without a scab forming.  

There are several potential causes for this wound after earlobe reconstruction.  It may be purely mechanical, related to massage of an immature scar, or potentially from extrusion of a resorbable suture.  When dissolving sutures are placed superficially, they may spit out through the incision a few weeks or months following surgery prior to resorption.  Infection should also be ruled out.  I recommend applying Vaseline twice daily to promote moist wound healing, avoidance of scar massage until well-healed, and scheduling follow up with your plastic surgeon for a clinical examination.Best, Stephanie Power MD, MSc, FRCSC

Dear Francish, If your surgeon is still located in close proximity to where you are then I would suggest scheduling a recheck appointment for instructions. Perhaps try some Aquaphor or petroleum jelly to see if this alleviates the scab formation. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
