Sore on my outer ear.

[spmccord]

Hi!

I've had a VPAP for 5 years, but in the last year I have had a periodic skin ulcer or sore spot on my outer ear that sometimes will bleed. It's just opposite of the ear canal. I always sleep on my right side because of other medical conditions. I'm sure it's some like of pressure sore.

Does anyone else have this kind of issue?? If so, what can I do about it??

Thanks!

Please see your physician. The lesion may be nothing but a simple irritation. However, depending on your age and history of sun exposure, it could be a skin cancer or a precancerous lesion. Protect your health. Have a Happy New Year.
