Take this with a grain of salt because I had not heard of it before. I was looking for some answers as to why Lolita's ears and bridge of her nose were the way they are and a google search brought up a topic on leather ear. I did a search on leather ear and came up with some information (of course on YT
) so I read what everyone wrote about it. What I read was that it's a fungus that they can get if they get too cold and I also read that they can get it if their hair is cut super short as well. I think I read that it can spread if left untreated but I'm not positive. It sounds as if the fungus buildup blocks the hair growth but once you get rid of the fungus the hair has a good chance of growing back in. Apparently persistance is key to treating it as results can be slow to show up. I didn't read anywhere that said if it does or doesn't pose a health risk. It just seems like it would be uncomfortable living with something like that growing on your face and ears so I would like to get it treated.
