Hi! My son is 8 years old. Recently I noticed that he has earlobe creases. Should I worry about that? What you suggested me to do?
Hi! Earlobe creases are superficial lines in the otherwise smooth earlobe of a child or young adult.
Earlobe creases is usually discovered on a well-child examination. Because you noticed that your child has earlobe creases and you are concerned that they may be linked with an inherited disorder, see your pediatrician. A physical examination will be performed to determine if there are abnormalities present that may indicate the presence of a rare disorder. If other symptoms or abnormalities are noted, diagnostic tests may be ordered. The specific test will depend on the disorder that is suspected.
