Scaly Rash On The Ear. Getting Cured Upon Using Neosporin. Not Cured Completely
Hi I have a scaly sort of rash along the scapha of my left ear. It is not really itchy but when I scratched it without knowledge, it resulted in it getting sore. But after one application of neosporin, it has dried out. But the scaliness has not gone...do I need further check? I travelled long distance in an aircraft just before I discovered this.
