What Does Brown Spot On Inner Ear Of A Child Suggest?
I just noticed a brown spot on the inner part of my 9 year old daughter s ear. It looked like dirt stuck on her skin but I tried to rub it clean and it didn t come off. I gave it a couple of days thinking maybe it was a scab but I still can t remove it. Should I take her to her pediatrician or a dermatologist? It s about 1 cm in diam.

Hi.... by what you say I feel that this is a fungal infection of the external ear canal.
I suggest you take her to a pediatrician.
