How Can A Small Scab Inside The Ear Be Treated?
I have a small scab on the inside of my ear, not the canal but one of the outer folds and it will go away and continuously come back. It doesn t hurt unless I pick it which I know I shouldn t do but it is a nuisance. If I sleep on it it ll get a little sore but that is it

Hi,
Small scab present in the ear could be removed by means of either chemical cautery or electrocautery.
Kindly consult Dermatologist in this regard for appropriate management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ashakiran S, General & Family Physician
