What Causes Severe Itchy Ear With A Scab Inside?

Hi, I have a severe itchy left ear with a scab and sore inside the ear down deep. Last time I used a qtip down there brown and red....more brown crusty stuff came out on qtip. Is this a sign of infection of some sort or could it just be allergies? Thanks Cindy

Hello

Welcome to Health care Magic


I reviewed your history.
The symptoms of itchy ear with scab indicate inflammation of the ear and requires treatment by the use of antibiotic ear drops and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.


Thank you
