Hi,

It could be eczema or dermatitis like condition but here history of ear discharge also present. Hence without ear Otoscopy examination exact cause can't ruled out. So consult otorhinolaryngologist for Otoscopy ear examination. If otitis media like ear infection present than topical antibiotic drop and oral antibiotic prescribed.

For pain and inflammation relief ibuprofen can be given If it is dermatitis over outer ear than topical steroid will be prescribed. Consult otorhinolaryngologist for examination with keeping all this in mind.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
