Is this a hole or possible growth?
r/cholesteatoma is a place for community help and general discussion about cholesteatoma. Share your experiences with others who can relate. A cholesteatoma is an abnormal, noncancerous skin growth that can develop in the middle section of your ear, behind the eardrum. It may be a birth defect, but it's most commonly caused by repeated middle ear infections. A cholesteatoma often develops as a cyst, or sac, that sheds layers of old skin.
