What Are The Consequences Of Swollen Ear Membrane?
52 yr.old female has a swollen right ear membrane on the outer ear. Red, feels like there s puss in it, and it has day by day gotten bigger. I don t feel any hearing loss and it doesn t itch inner ear. Just the outside front and back of the ear is tender. No change to the lobe itself. What could it be?
