In daily life

I don't know if you have noticed

Some people have a small hole on their ears?

They are mostly located at the base of the ears.

Some are big, some are small, and the number varies

It is said that this is a "smart hole"

Who has this little hole in the ear?

It represents wealth and fortune

So

Is there any scientific basis for this statement?

Come and see

turn out to be

This little hole has a professional name.

It is called "preauricular fistula"

This is a congenital malformation

When it was still developing in the mother's womb

The auricle tissue failed to

Close it where it should be closed

It left a small hole.

Does it feel scary?

It's not that scary actually.

If it doesn't cause inflammation

It will not have any effect on the human body

I'm afraid some people

Pick out (squeeze) the secretions from time to time

Annoyed it

People are showing off their power

You are the one who suffers.

Let me put it this way

Once infected

The area around the small hole will become inflamed, swollen, and festering.

Also accompanied by pain

And once you get infected, it will come back again and again.

so

Be sure to remember

Keep your hands off

Don't just pick it casually!
