Does Clear Scab Inside The Ear That Keeps Forming Indicates Skin Cancer?
I have a clear scab inside my ear that keeps forming. Its not painful or anything but it has been reoccurring for the last 5 months . My husband said it looks discolored and shiny. We think it might be a fungus or maybe dry skin. Could this be skin cancer or something?

scab in the ear is not cancer. formation of scab is normal phenomenon. but if you think that if it is excess or if there is foul smell or discharge from the ear, then you need to consult ENT specialist immediately. most commonly foreign body in the ear can cause such symptoms
