Medical - Medical (general) / congenital growth on skin
Indonesian term or phrase: karang kulit
I am NOT referring to coral that grows in the ocean, but rather to a growth on human skin. I believe it is a type of congenital tumor of the skin, perhaps an hemangioma.

Context: "di dalam telinganya sebelah kiri tumbuh karang kulit merah."

Seborrheic dermatitis (Cradle cap)


Explanation:
Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, inflammatory skin condition that causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp or inside the ear. It can occur with or without reddened skin.

Hope this help. :)

Regards,

Asker: I'm not so sure. I've never known cradle cap to be inside the ear. Besides, grown women (and men!) go for laser treatment to remove 'karang kulit' so it is unlikely to be cradle cap, which only affects babies.

Flat warts.
These are about the size of a pinhead, are smoother than other kinds of warts, and have flat tops. Flat warts may be pink, light brown, or yellow.

Notes to answerer
Asker: As with the previous suggestion, I'm not sure. Warts are not usually red and the word for wart is usually 'kutil'. I still think it might be an hemangioma. I was born with hemangiomas (which are bright red, cancerous growths of blood vessels) on the side of my face, so I am familiar with that genital condition.
