Where Do These Holes Above The Ears Come From?

These holes, although tiny, affect a very small percentage of the world’s population.

In the UK, less than one percent of people have them, but the number is even lower in the United States. In Asia and parts of Africa, four to ten percent of people have this particular hereditary defect. While there’s nothing wrong with having them, these holes sometimes have a nasty habit of becoming infected, but this can be treated with simple antibiotics.
