For anyone genuinely wondering, this is a preauricular pit – a birth defect that could rarely signal other, bigger issues but which is usually harmless by itself. It’s just a random opening, it doesn’t even connect to anything.
For years I wondered why when I scratched my left ear, it would feel kinda wet and then I’d get like lump in my throat, and then my finger would smell terrible. But on my right side this never happened.
After I got married my wife asked to pop the pimple on my ear. I didn’t know what she meant, but I let her. Anyway a quarter century of this horrible white pus oozed out, and then we looked into what on earth just happened.
Think of it this way - it’s a little defect in the skin. Instead of your skin shedding and falling off/washing off your body, you have a little pocket that keeps collecting those skin cells (cells are shedding inside the pocket.) That’s why it smells gross and comes back even after you squeeze it. To get rid of it permanently, it would need to be surgically removed. Totally Dr Pimple Popper territory.
I had that too, occasionally it would get infected and swell the entire side of my face it was on. My American insurance (Kaiser Permanente) covered surgery for removing the pit. Highly recommend looking into getting it removed, although I do miss the satisfaction of squeezing it out.

Doubt there is any hole evading the porn industry.
There is probably some website dedicated to tiny holes near the ears.
Found it!

C’mon man don’t do me like that
W-what about those holes sweat comes from?
Mine has a pus-like substance that builds up inside. It smells terrible.

I have a cyst on the centre of the back of my neck that does this. But squeezing it doesn’t permanently solve anything.

You can kinda pop them like they’re pimples and the waxy/runny stuff that comes out of there smells like death.
That’s probably sweat and dead skin cells
Wait I have one and I’m 27 now, should I be worried?
