Scab Inside Ear, Feeling Of Something Moving With Popping. Have Allergy, Depression, Vertigo. Is There Any Connection?

Hello! I have what I think is a scab inside my left ear. When I try to pop my ears, I can feel something (guessing it's the scab) move with the pop. It also makes a noise when it moves and I'm not sure what "it" is. I'm 16, female, 5 foot 5, 180 pounds and have depression, seasonal allergies, seasonal vertigo, and that's about it.

Hello,
You should not pop your ears , if you have allergies on and off.
Its when you pop the infection behind your nose enters your ears due to the pressure you apply through the tube which connects part behind the nose to middle part of ear.
YOu require to get done ent examination to see for the condition of ear canal if there is any wax and the condition of the ear drum whether its intact or not.
Then you require antihistaminics and decongestants for atleast 2 weeks.
