a Frankel is nothing but a simple boil
or a pimple happening inside the year
right so a pimple or boil can happen as
we all know in any part of the body
where there is a hair follicle or sweat
glands right if you take the year you
you have hair follicles all around the
pinna and if you look at the hole that
leads to the eardrum that what we call
ear canal they're only the outer 1/3 is
having the hair follicles and sweat
glands so a fall Fraenkel or a pimple
can occur very much there and it's like
any other pimple it has to be treated
the only difference here is that since
the skin is very tightly adherent or
attached to the cartilage the soft bone
part of the pinna then it is a lot more
painful a lot more symptomatic than the
other pimples if you look at the year
the pinna has a lot of hair follicles as
we all can observe right as well the the
ear canal the hole which leads to the
ear drum that also has a bit of
follicles and sweat glands especially in
the outer 1/3 of the length that's about
seven or eight millimeter length so a
foreign Collura boilie can happen in
this area and it will be a lot more
painful whereas a pimple on the face or
anywhere else is not so painful because
the skin is loose it is not attached to
any structures in the ear the skin is
very tightly adherent or attached to the
cartilage that is the soft bone of the
year and that is why the moment there is
any stretching happening there is
tremendous pain so it is a lot more
symptomatic than the temporal elsewhere
so I it has to be treated like any other
pimple you have to use antiseptic creams
you have to use painkillers and in a
rare case if you suspect the pimple
worsening then an antibiotic also will
come in play right a local application
of heat also will help you the very end
you apply a hot water bag around the
year so that will soothe Andy the pain
sensation
now you can apply creams antiseptic
cream with the help of q-tip or an
earbud and gently pushing the cream into
the ear canal and that will spread
around and give you a relief right and
coming to the point where whether we can
break it or not when it is nice and
pointing like you see a white blob like
thing which is filled with pus then the
skin around that is totally dead and
insensitive so that you can remove it
but not well formed or a premature boil
or fur ankle should not be touched or
dealt with because then you are actually
opening a normal skin which is still
viable and may creating a wound in a
septic area which will worsen the
situation and sometimes the infection
can even spread around and make it a lot
more complicated rather than helping in
any way so a pointing pus can be removed
rain but not fully formed for uncle like
I said earlier the hair follicles and
sweat glands are there only in the outer
part of the ear canal so there is no
chance of you getting any boil in the
middle ear or inner part of the year
right they as they don't have any
follicles you are not liable to get any
of these things and if you have any
infection or pain or pass formation from
the deeper part of the year it only
means that the pathology is something
else so it has to be looked at by a
specialist and has to be treated
appropriately
