What Causes Scab On Left Nostril And Outer Canal Of Left Ear?
Hello I have been experiencing scabbing in my left nostril and the outer canal of my left ear and drainage in my left ear for two weeks. Last week I got a “blister” like bubble on my pinkie finger which the dr. Lanced and gave me Cypro. For Staph/MERSA. What could be causing the problems in my ear and nose. Its not clearing up with the antibiotic. And My nose hurts and its starting to hurt through the bottom of my nose into my mouth/teeth.

Hello
There can be many reasons for the scabbing including a herpes infection , i would like you to meet your skin doctor , he may take a swab from the scab and culture it. This will tell you the organism causing the scabbing and then he can prescribe the necessary medications.
Thanks
