Suggest A Remedy For Recurring Black Scab On Ear Post Sinus Infection
There is a black scab in my ear that has been associated with a recent sinus infection... I did try and clean and nurse it with alcohol on a qtip. It scabs over and turns black in my ear. I feel it may be blocking normal wax removal the body does. After I clean it my qtip come out black from what I assume was the scab and bloody. What can I do to help this heal.
