Is it possible your tissue is reacting to permanent stitches ? Perhaps they have to be removed and replaced with a different type of suture ?

Advice Please

Just looking for any advice on anything that might help my scarring? It seems like a some sort of skin graft for the ear is needed, as the skin is basically gone, although I am not sure if this is possible. let me know what you think. Thanks!

You can try talking to a surgeon who specializes in ear procedures. I do not know where you are but in California, there is a San Diego surgeon named John Hilinski who specializes in ear otoplasty/ear reshaping/macrotia surgery, He does free virtual consultations. Looks like a
allergy to something they used while performing the procedure. Maybe it needs to be taken out?
