The top of my outer ear is crusty and hurts when i touch it. i also pick on it too, which i know is bad because of germs. what should i do and why is it doing this... i also recently got my ear lobes pierced, but I have been cleaning them. I also get some crust on that same ear down there as well
Hi, thanks for query. You might be having otitis externa. If I were your treating doctor, I would have prescribed penicillin antibiotics + anti inflammatory medicines like paracetamol + diclofenac combination drugs twice daily for 3 to 5 days. Mupirocin ointment for local application.
