What Causes Clear Pus Coming Out Of Outer Ear And Swelling?
I have a clear pus coming out of my outer ear. Kind of where you would get a piercing. I am a boy though, and do not have piercings. The skin is red and dry. Kind of swollen up as well. It is definitely irritated. Do you have any idea what it could be?
