Suggest Treatment For Cracked And Oozing Ears
My ear is cracked and oozing. It is not bloody, but yellowish, like plasma with blood in it. It was my right ear, but now it is my left ear. Sometimes it hurts and feels almost like I have an earache, but it isn t an earache. It is external. Why is it cracked and oozing. If it crusts over, that is when it starts to hurt. If I scrape the crusties off, then it starts oozing again. The location is just inside my ear on the the skin, on the top.
