Suggest Remedy For Sores In Ears Due To Usage Of Earplugs

I have sores in my ears, from putting in and removing ear plugs, which I use frequently (and recently had been inserting when I hadn t cut my fingernails). I m rather sure I scraped inside my ears --not too deep, but where you put in the earplugs. Not big pain, but I need to put the plugs in at night and thus to heal this. Suggested remedy?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a microtrauma in the ear canal.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Tylenol to treat the inflammation.
I also suggest using an eardrop for local application.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
