Oh gosh…don’t get me started! I’ve had doctors say, “I’ve heard of that but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it,” several times.
Here’s one – There are tiny holes in front of your ears that are open when you’re in utero, called preauricular pits. On most people, they close up before birth. 1% of babies are born with them open, like mine were. The hole is connected to a sinus tract that should not be there. This tract or tube runs under the skin, and its path can either be short or long and complicated. After getting an abscess in one, I had surgery to remove them.
