I met my 8-month-old niece over the weekend and she happened to have a tiny ear tag, also known as an accessory tragus on her right ear. I asked her mum if it was okay for me to take a picture of this developmental anomaly, and she let me take a couple of pictures.

Accessory tragus is a congenital anomaly that appears as a skin covered nodule on the external ear. It doesn't really require treatment but some people prefer to surgically remove it for cosmetic reasons.
