Suggest Remedy For Puss Filled Bumps In Ear
I have a puss filled bump on my ear. It's not in my ear canal but it is inside the grooved part of my ear. I popped it and puss came out. I cleaned it with witch hazel and it still hurts. There is another smaller puss filled bump directly above it. What could it be? This is the first time I have had this.

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Consult an ENT surgeon. Take a swab from the pus and sent for culture and drug sensitivity. After that start an antibiotic Tab Cefotaxime 500 mg twice daily after food x 7 days. You have to do daily dressing with Betadine.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Take care.
