What does a preauricular pit looks like?

A preauricular pit is a small, often asymmetrical indentation or dimple located near the front of the ear, typically at the junction where the ear meets the head. It can vary in size and may appear as a tiny hole or a shallow depression in the skin. In some cases, it can be accompanied by a small sinus tract. While generally benign, it can sometimes become infected or develop complications, warranting medical attention.
