Scar tissue question

Scar tissue is white rings inside of your ears correct? I have white rings around the inside of my ears. I didnt want to die, so I posted haha. Im assuming its scar tissue though.

Re: Scar tissue question

That kind of looks like a blowout, but it's hard to tell for sure since you're pushing the fistula forward. When you don't push on your lobe, what does the back look like?

Re: Scar tissue question

It feels like it comes up a little bit, like a tiny circle hill if you know what I mean. But only on one ear, and its not the ear I showed you.

Re: Scar tissue question

It's either hypertrophic scarring or a blowout. I would need to see to be sure. Either way, not too good. : (

Re: Scar tissue question

Definitely! Doing daily vitamin e massages will help encourage blood flow and break down scar tissue. Any excess tissue in the fistula will hopefully reabsorb. : )

Best of luck!

Re: Scar tissue question

I had this same "white ring" the first time I attempted 2g to 0g. How long has it been like this? When it happened to my ears, I assumed the worst and downsized right away and it healed up in a day or so. Careful :o
