I have one too but it doesnt fillup that much. mine is on the top of the ear toward the end of the curve closest to your face. I think that its genetic because by grandma has one just like it.

This is most likely a preauricular cyst/pit/hole/sinus (it's known by all of these names, though a sinus--just a tunnel of sorts, not your nasal sinuses--is usually not present). The substance is emits is called keratin.

They are quite common, are genetic, and are no big deal. The usual discharge is white or perhaps slighly yellow and should only be a small amount, depending on the size of your pit. If the color is ever green or brown, or the pit (or your face) are swollen, you need to see a doctor as you might have an infection. Ordinarily these require no treatment at all, but surgery can be performed if needed..

I heard a wise tell that the hole meant you have a six sense. My grandmother use to tell me that I could see and sense things that persons without the hole can't. YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL>>>
