Can you get cancer in your ears?
For the past few months, I've had a persistent sore inside my ear that just won't heal. My daughter is concerned and mentioned something about skin cancer. Can you get cancer in your ears?

Yes, skin cancers can develop on the outer ear due to sun exposure, and rarely inside. Protecting your body and keeping a peaceful mind is good, but any growth should be examined by an ENT specialist.

Haan yaar, ear cancer ho sakta hai, skin cancer outer ear pe kaafi common hota hai due to sun heat. Agar koi ajeeb sa rash ya growth dikhe jo thik nahi ho raha, toh immediately doctor ko dikhao.

I noticed a small scaly patch on the top of my ear and now I am panicking about skin cancer. Has anyone else had a harmless bump there, or should I run to a dermatologist right away?

My uncle ignored a small, bleeding sore on his outer ear thinking it was just a scratch, but it turned out to be squamous cell carcinoma and required extensive surgery. Please don't delay if you see any non-healing wounds.

Suno, ear cancer is rare but skin cancer on the ear lobes or canal can happen. If you have a discharge with blood or a growth that won't go away, don't ignore it. Go straight to an ENT specialist.

I know how scary it is to think about cancer in such an unusual place. While ear cancer is extremely rare, it is possible, so getting an ENT doctor to check it will really ease your mind.
