What Causes Crusty Oozing Helix?
My outer ear portion, I believe it is called the Helix, weeps. This is the best way I can describe it. It is not all the time but usually every 5 or 6 days, I will first have a little rough crusty patch behind the helix area and when scracth off it weeps a clear liquid with no smell. It was only one one ear, but now, much less occastionally it seems it is now starting on the other ear.
