How To Treat A Blister Filled With Pus On Ears?
I was out in the sun fishing yesterday and got sunburned. While going to bed tonight, I scratched my ear and noticed that I had popped a blister full of liquid. I had another on my other ear in the same spot, so I cleared it off too. They were about the size of a jelly bean (the only thing I could really think of to describe the size and shape). Do I need to do anything else to the spots on my ears, or am I okay to leave it be?

Hi, in my opinion, you might be having external ear infection. 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. Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
