What Causes Itchiness And Burning Sensation In The Ear Despite Having Pseudomonas Infection ?
I have had ear trouble for over 20 years, going to lots of specialist and no one has been able to help me. I was hospitalized once and give IV antibiotics, a culture was done and it was pseudomonas . I still have issues, it never goes away, and between outbreaks (which is occurring presently) my ears burn, severely itch, peel, drain, raw and Re beginning to smell. I do not get much sleep at night , at night it gets worse. My canal swells, my ears are even feverish....please help, I do not know what to do at this point. I have tried different RX creams and drop.....I m desperate

Hello,
The symptoms are in relation with recurrent Pseudomonas infection of the inner or middle ear cavity most likely. The underlying cause can be of various reasons as:
- Drug resistant strains (not cured as per culture reports)
- Tympanic membrane perforation (most common cause)
- Recurrent wax collection with secondary nidus of infection
- Epithelial cell shedding
- Low immunity from immune deficiency states
- Diabetes
- HIV or other grave issues
Kindly provide me all data of CT scan, otoscopy, culture swab and lab data during further management in your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
