Cholesteatoma grew big as a golf ball

Hey how's it going everyone. I was born with microtia and had plastic surgery when I was 11 years old but never finished the ear. As time went on 23-24 years old is when puss started to drool down my ear. It drained for 2 weeks and stopped so i thought it was a minor infection. Then the year after randomly puss would drool down my ear. 4 years later I decided to get it checkout and thats when I found out I had a cholesteatoma. I chose Dr. Roberson in Palo Alto California as my doctor to remove the cholesteatoma which was Nov. of 2018 and it left massive scarring and I regretted not getting it checked out sooner. There was a hole about half a inch big on my ear and I consistency inserted a gauze pad everyday and it eventually closed up and it took around 5 months. Then in June of 2019 I had microtia surgery and it went successful but there was a scab where the hole healed. My Doctor took the scab off and the hole appeared. I'm consistently putting small packing strips and its improving but not healing in pace. I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience as myself?
