I Have Hard Crusty Stuff Around The Perimeter Of My

Seborrheic Dermatitis...
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query
I have gone through the query and understood the problem. You seem to be suffering from Seborrhoeic Dermatitis.
This is an inflammation of the external ear canal skin caused due to excess turnover of the scales over the skin. This is one of the commonest ENT problems one come across in the out patient department.
The best remedy for this is:
1. Clean the ear canal with a clean damp cloth or cotton 2-3 times a day. This removes the crusts and help the skin to breathe.
2. Apply a cream with a combination of anti fungal and corticosteroid cream. This helps in reducing the inflammation and the crusting.
3. Avoid constant probing of the ear.
4. Drink plenty of water.
With the above measures you should get better. Revert back to me if you have any follow up queries.
