I'm dealing with this small irritation on the corner of my tongue thats been bugging me for about six months now. It doesn't hurt, but it always feels like theres something stuck there. Should I see an ENT or a dentist for this kind of issue?

I've had a preauricular sinus infection for years and even had surgery 15 years ago, but it's come back. I've been dealing with this for so long is there any way to finally get rid of it for good?

Yes, it's possible to potentially eliminate a preauricular sinus infection permanently, even after previous surgery, but it may require further surgical intervention and a thorough approach. The key is to ensure complete removal of the sinus tract and any associated cartilage or tissue remnants, as incomplete removal is a major factor in recurrence.
