Red And Sensitive Outer Ear With Crusty Liquid Oozing Out. Any Ideas?
I have some type of crusty oozing liquid coming from the top of my right outer ear under the upper ear fold so it is sort of hidden. Yesterday I noticed that it felt like there was some reside in that area, like maybe I didn't rinse the soap well enough or something. I worked the area with my fingers until it felt like I had cleaned the reside away but today it is crusty like and it is oozing and very red and sensitive. What's going on?
