What Causes Appearance Of Spot At The Back Of Ear?
I have been in Korea on a year abroad, and I found I had a spot on the back of my ear, it didn t hurt but if I rubbed it and caught my nail it would obviously sting. I still have it now after a month, and the day before yesterday it turned black. My mum said this might be because I kept rubbing it and it was the blood in the spot, should I go to a doctors or will it disappear sometime on its own?

hello,
one month is long time for a blood spot to remain in place. usually it disappears in 7 - 10 days. i suggest see a dermatologist/ent specialist and get examined along with histopath correlation if your doctor feels so
