Hi, I slept with and eye mask, and one of the straps could have cut off the circulation of my outer ear. and I had the horrendous scab on the outer portion of my ear. It stayed that way for months (I told my DR, but they didn't seem to listen.) now my ear is swollen about 1 1/2 to 2 times the normal size and its warm to the touch and skin is peeling (there hasn't been a scab for months) and I just noticed a white cloudy liquid that was leaking out of the area (not from the inner ear) and its kind of got me worried.
