What Causes Itchy And Swollen Ear?
Hi, I have an itchy ear which is swollen and has come out in little lumps all over which seem to be spreading, they are now all down the back of my ear and are going into my hair. I went to the chemist and he gave me some hydrocortisone. The feeling reminds me of cold sores. Iam 39 years old and it is driving me mad, is there anything I can do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Dear, you may be suffering from otitis externa or ear wax or allergic reaction. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Please don't put any objects into ear please consult your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
