I have an irritation on my ear?!
Question:
I have an irritation on my ear?
few weeks ago, the skin along the bottom of my ear starting itching really bad for some reason. but after i scratch it, it becomes quite painful and even more itchy. sometimes it has this liquid coming out of it, kind of like thick water. it's not just on the outside though, coz after i scratch it i can't hear that well - i can hear a buzzing noise inside my ear.
now that i've stopped scratching it for a while, there's a lot of crust over where the irritation was but when i try to remove the crust it just becomes painful again and the buzzing noise returns. i put cream on it every night but it just won't go away.
what is it, how can i stop it from spreading, and what could get rid of it?
Answers:
As good as that description was, nothing beats just letting a doc have a look at it. They will probably prescribe you antibiotics and a good steroid cream and it'll clear up in days.
