Tophi On Ears
4 Answers
I suffer from gout and get white spots on my ears called tophi. They look like big white spots ready to burst but have a white chalky substance in the rather than pus (sorry if you are eating!)
My question is can I try to pop them to get rid of them, I've done it before but they seem to come back. They are a bit unsightly and I wondered if it was safe to try and remove them myself.

They are a well known side effect of chronic gout........ .gouty tophi. There is nothing that can be done about them. Surgery is an option, but take my advice...... don' t go down that route.
