Skin tag near ear
Hello doctor, my daughter is 2 years old and by birth she has a small skin tag near her ear. One of the pediatrician said it is related to the kidney and another pediatrician said it is related to the heart issue and suggested that the Doppler scan something like that. Can anyone please explain what this is. Is there anything related to hearing problems in future? Please share the required information. I am very. Attached photo for reference

It's not like it is a kidney problem. But there is some association of ear tags with kidney.
It's not related to any hearing or anything don't worry
Kindly get a sonography of abdomen.
